A CULLINGWORTH businesswoman is celebrating a top accolade.

Sandra Corcoran, who runs Pennine Cycles with her husband Paul, is included in cycling's first-ever Women of the Year list.

She has been named alongside legends of the sport, including Otley's Lizzie Armistead.

The list of 100 women was compiled by cycle trade magazine, BikeBiz, based on reader nominations.

Mrs Corcoran said: "I am thrilled to have been nominated and recognised within the industry.

"I'm very excited – it is a great honour."

She is described in the accolades as "a great networker who spreads the joy and fun of cycling to other business owners".

A celebration was held at the London Bike Show exhibitor party, in the ExCeL Centre.
