Two Worthing women named among UK’s most inspiring female entrepreneurs for 2026

Two Worthing women with a combined 50 years of specialist marketing experience have been named on the f:Entrepreneur iAlso 100 list for 2026.

Kelly O’Haire, director of Constructive Marketing, and Rachael Dines, director of Shake It Up Creative, have been recognised for helping hundreds of businesses scale and improve their digital presence.

They have both contributed significantly to Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce. Kelly has a degree in public relations and her company specialises in the building and construction sectors, while Rachael is a chartered marketer and specialises in small businesses and non-profits.

Kelly said: "I am incredibly honoured to be recognised alongside such a dynamic group of women."

Rachael said: "I can’t wait to expand my network with, and learn from, brilliant, high-achieving women from across the country.”

The prestigious iAlso campaign is run by Small Business Britain to celebrate 100 female entrepreneurs from across the UK who drive growth and make a positive impact in their communities, while running successful businesses.

Those selected have access to exclusive events, opportunities to speak on national panels and a platform to contribute to policy discussions impacting female business owners.

Michelle Ovens, founder of Small Business Britain, said: "It is brilliant to feature Rachael and Kelly in this year’s #iAlso100 campaign. All of the female entrepreneurs in this year’s line-up are inspirational and remarkable role models.

"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.”

Kelly and Rachael say their inclusion in the iAlso 100 highlights their impact not just as business founders but as multi-achieving leaders who balance expert marketing delivery with other roles.

Kelly is chair of trustees for Sight Support Worthing, chair of Worthing Business Circle and has provided many voluntary hours of business mentoring to others.

Rachael is chair of the English Martyrs Primary School registered charity, sits on the West Sussex Economic Growth Board and is a voluntary Expert in Residence for Business & IP Centre Sussex and Community Works.
