London entrepreneur named one of 2025’s most impressive female founders


8th January 2025: Eva Thorne of Richmond, London has been named one of the UK’s most
impressive female entrepreneurs by Small Business Britain’s ‘f:Entrepreneur #IAlso100’
campaign.
Eva Thorne, who founded The Garden of Eva in 2021, is being profiled among 100
inspirational female entrepreneurs from across the country, as part of the campaign to
celebrate the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK today.
The f:Entrepreneur ‘#IAlso100’ line-up particularly showcases trailblazing female founders
who lead purpose-driven businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as
volunteering, mentoring and community support.
Indeed, Eva was also called out for her award-winning products, two of which contribute to
lowering food waste, which is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
On being featured in the #ialso100 lineup, Eva said: “I’m absolutely delighted and incredibly
humbled to be named to this list of ambitious, mission-driven, powerful women
entrepreneurs. We are important contributors to the UK economy. Also, girls need role
models and the women on this list provide them.
Launched in 2017 by Small Business Britain – the leading champion of small businesses in
the UK - the f:Entrepreneur campaign aims to raise greater awareness of the impact of
incredible female business owners across the country, and help provide inspiration and role
models to the wider small business community. 
The campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills,
capability, and confidence. 
“It’s wonderful to have Eva from The Garden of Eva feature in this year’s #IAlso100 – all of
the female entrepreneurs in this year’s line-up are simply phenomenal,” said Michelle Ovens
CBE, founder of Small Business Britain.
“It is vital that we recognise the impressive contribution of the UK’s female business owners
and do all we can to support and encourage them throughout their entrepreneurial journey,
from start-up to scale-up. As well as making a huge economic contribution to the UK, female
entrepreneurs also create a wider positive impact that ripples across society and local
communities too.”

Welcome to The Garden of Eva! We’re excited for you to join us as we share our passionate affair with pickles. We know what you’re thinking – gherkins, pickled onions, and bread and butter pickles. We like those, too, but there is so much more to the world of pickles. More to taste, enjoy, and yes, love! We believe that really great pickles aren’t supposed to be left on the plate – they should be as important as everything else! The Garden of Eva has big ambitions! We are happy to bring you the pickles that our founder made growing up with her American southern mother. But we aren't stopping there! We have plans to bring you exciting pickles from other countries and cultures. Stay tuned!
