In 2014, Penny was awarded an OBE by the Queen for her "contribution to entrepreneurs through the power of community." This recognition was in part due to the work that she and her husband, Thomas, did to bring community to business owners in 1998, before LinkedIn and Facebook (which followed four and six years later). The platform they co-founded, Ecademy, grew to include 650,000 members across 52 countries. Since then, Penny and Thomas have dedicated their lives to working with business owners and promoting community values.
