Lizzy Maskey, founder of Pippin & Gile based in South London, has been recognised as one of the UK’s 100 most inspiring female entrepreneurs.
Lizzy, who founded her business in 2018, will be featured alongside leading female founders from across the country as part of Small Business Britain’s f:Entrepreneur #IAlso100 campaign, which celebrates the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK.
The campaign celebrates 100 exceptional women across the UK who are driving innovation, growth, and positive impact in their communities, while running successful businesses.
Lizzy is being profiled for her achievements in connecting people to nature, and shifting people’s perspectives of what is achievable through her work teaching bushcraft, foraging, wilderness living and countryside craft courses and her commitment to sustainability, inclusivity and community building.
On being featured in this year’s #IAlso100 lineup, Lizzy said: “I am honoured to be recognised as one of the leading female founders of 2026 for bringing Pippin & Gile a bushcraft, foraging and wilderness living training centre into being alongside my work to promote more sustainable lifestyles, greater connection to the natural world and community building and engagement, both within my work and personal spheres of influence.”
Launched in 2017 by Small Business Britain, 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.
“It is brilliant to feature Lizzy Maskey and Pippin & Gile in this year’s #IAlso100 campaign. All of the female entrepreneurs in this year’s line-up are inspirational and remarkable role models,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, CEO and Founder of Small Business Britain.
“Their creativity, leadership, and community impact show exactly why supporting female founders is so important, not only for the UK’s economic growth but for the positive difference they make to wider society.”
The #IAlso100 campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills, capability, and confidence.
Female entrepreneurship continues to make a powerful economic impact, with estimates suggesting up to £250 billion could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled new businesses at the same rate as men.1
