Sabrina Sudera Wins Enterprising Women’s Award for Small Business of the Year.
We are thrilled to announce that Sabrina Sudera, Operations Director of Design Studio Architects, has been honoured with the prestigious Enterprising Women’s Award for Small Business of the Year. The event took place at the beautiful Winstanley House in Leicestershire and was hosted by the East Midlands Chamber.
The Enterprising Women Awards celebrate the achievements of women in business across the region, recognising those who inspire others through their leadership, innovation, and community impact. Sabrina’s recognition is a testament to her unwavering commitment to excellence in the architectural world, and her leadership of Design Studio Architects has propelled the firm to new heights.
A Journey of Dedication, Vision, and Resilience
Sabrina joined Design Studio Architects in 2021. What many people don’t realize is that she doesn’t come from an architectural background. Despite this, she stands confidently in a male-dominated industry, bringing with her an entirely different perspective. Before joining DSA, Sabrina worked within the NHS and holds a Masters in Psychology.
Her transition into the architectural world was far from easy. She joined during the pandemic, a time when many architectural projects came to a halt due to global uncertainty. Yet, Sabrina’s resilience and adaptability were clear. Since joining, she has brought a wealth of knowledge, particularly around understanding people and their motivations, which has helped to create a “people-first” culture within the firm.
Sabrina’s unique professional experience has been instrumental in shaping DSA’s operations. Her focus on strong operational foundations, teamwork, and collaboration with supply partners drives client service excellence in everything the firm does. This approach has not only enhanced how DSA operates, but it has also shaped the way the business makes decisions and invests its resources. Together, these factors have enabled significant market growth for DSA.
A Celebration of Women in Business
The Enterprising Women Awards, hosted by the East Midlands Chamber, is an esteemed event that shines a spotlight on the region’s most dynamic female entrepreneurs and business leaders. This year’s event at Winstanley House was filled with inspirational stories of women making significant impacts in their fields. Sabrina’s win in the Small Business of the Year category is a testament to her ability to thrive in a space where her background and leadership style have reshaped the company’s growth trajectory.
Sabrina’s leadership at DSA has been defined by her understanding of people, her collaborative approach, and her drive to continuously improve client experiences. By fostering a culture of trust and open communication, she has built strong relationships both internally with her team and externally with clients and partners. This holistic approach is what has enabled DSA to not only survive during the pandemic but thrive in a competitive market.
Looking to the Future
Winning the Enterprising Women’s Award for Small Business of the Year is not only an individual achievement but also an exciting chapter in Design Studio Architects’ journey. Sabrina remains focused on further expansion, sustainable practices, and delivering outstanding architectural services to clients across the UK.
Sabrina’s win is a proud moment for the entire DSA team, and her leadership continues to inspire growth and innovation. As the company looks to the future, it is clear that Sabrina’s people-first philosophy and operational excellence will be key drivers of continued success.
