Holistic Family Mediation is a proud Finalist at the East Midlands Chamber Business Awards 2022


Holistic Family Mediation/Sushma Kotecha is very proud to be recognised as one of the five finalists at the Leicestershire Business Awards 2022 for category of ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ that is sponsored by MHA MacIntyre Hudson.


The service is shortlisted amongst Leicestershire’s finest and highly regarded local entrepreneurs and therefore Sushma is overwhelmed with this recognition amongst such


outstanding talent and feels like a winner already being in such great company.


The other four fantastic finalists in this category are:

  • George Oliver, 1284

  • Gurdev Mattu, Fashion UK

  • Jaz Kaur and Narinder Nijjar, Fraser Stretton Property Group

  • Maz Patel and Paz Patel, Scope Construction

The East Midland Chambers Awards is an annual celebration of local exceptional services and businesses and is presented in partnership with principal and headline sponsor, Mazars.


It is truly a pleasure and honour to be shortlisted and given this recognition so soon after launching Holistic Family Mediation on 1 July 2021, which was a labour of love and passion.

To find out more about Sushma and why she took a leap of faith during lockdown and gave up a very successful career in family law to set up Holistic Family Mediation read her story here.


The awards will take place across the three key East Midlands localities kicking off with the Leicestershire Business Awards this Friday 4 November at the King Power Stadium, followed by the Derbyshire Business Awards on Friday 11 November at Reach, Pride Park, and Nottinghamshire Business Awards on Friday 18 November at Nottingham Belfry Hotel.


At each event winners will be announced in 14 categories, ranging from Entrepreneur of the Year, Community Impact and Excellence in Collaboration to Excellence in Innovation.


Virtual panel interviews for the Leicestershire Business Awards 2022 took place on Friday 16 September when all finalists had the opportunity of pitching their case to be granted the ‘cherry on the cake’ and to win in their respective categories.


Good luck to all the East Midland Chambers Awards 2022 finalists shortlisted in the various categories across all three areas – regardless of who are crowned ‘winners’ on the night, these events will be a wonderful celebration of local business and charitable communities coming together in style!





On a final note, exciting news to watch out for in the New Year - Sushma is launching Holistic Coaching services and a book with personal insights intended to be a resource/toolkit/self-help book for separating and divorcing couples to empower and inspire them to take stock and make their own informed mindful decisions. To help them not only survive after divorce and/or separation but to thrive!


If you are curious about how holistic family mediation can help support you and your family through separation and/or divorce, you may wish to consider our FAQs page and/or book in a Free Discovery Call via our services page.


If you are ready to get the ball rolling, please complete and submit a Self-Referral Form and book your initial separate Mediation Information & Assessment Meeting (MIAM) online.


We will then get in touch with your ex-partner (unless requested to hold-off at this stage) to encourage them to engage in the process highlighting the benefits of family mediation - low cost, staying in control and to have a quicker resolution compared to court based proceedings.
