The 75-year-old founder named Britain’s ‘best’ Entrepreneur
Awards InternationalA Bristol businesswoman has been named the UK’s entrepreneur of the year for her work developing medical training products.
Margot Cooper is the founder of Bristol-based medical manufacturing company Limbs & Things, and has been crowned Inflexion Entrepreneur of the Year at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards.
Margot, who is 75, set up her company in 1990 with a vision that clinical education should move away from cadavers and animals.
She invented anatomically accurate and cost-effective models and simulators to allow students – nurses, GPs, surgeons, radiologists and paramedics – to become more competent and confident professionals.
Limbs & Things’ products are now used worldwide to teach people to take blood, administer injections, deliver babies, learn about wound repair and carry out keyhole surgery.
