Paramedic Science lecturer Pip Page says she is "delighted" after winning a prestigious award.

Pip, who works at the University of Greater Manchester, was named 'Woman in Education' at the Bolton Women in Business Awards 2025.

She had been nominated by a student last October and then was shortlisted as a finalist after receiving votes.

Pip was up against three other finalists at the awards, which were held at the Premier Suite in the Bolton Whites Hotel and featured a total of 153 finalists across all categories.

Pip said: "I genuinely did not expect to win when I saw who I was up against.

"The work the other three finalists do in the world of education made me think I should be proud of myself just being a finalist.

"All of them deserved to win and so when I was announced the winner, it came as an utter shock.

"During my career as an educator I have endured some struggles and one of them has been doubting myself as an educator.

This award proves I should not doubt myself, at all and I am proud and delighted to have won."

Pip met with University of Greater Manchester President and Vice Chancellor Professor George E Holmes DL who congratulated her on her success.

He said: "Well done on your remarkable achievement, to be nominated by a student makes this award extra special and you should rightly be very proud."
