Cornwall Business Leader of the Year Awards 2007


Well I am really pleased. Following my journey back from Cambridge yesterday I ended up at the Cornwall Business Awards dinner at St Mellion. Gordon, my Business development Director, came with me.

I was nominated in the Business Leader of the Year category. And was delighted to be voted one of the top two business leaders in Cornwall and the top woman!

The award for the Business Leader of the Year was sponsored by NatWest
This award is made to the outstanding individual who in the last year has best demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision. The judges are looking for evidence of how the organisation has significantly improved performance for its employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders,and how the entrant has contributed to that success. Specific qualities that the judges considered include the performance of the current business including sales and profit growth, and a vision for the future.

The award was given to leaders who had been able to drive their businesses through difficult change and still demonstrate growth.

Entries were judged by a panel of high-profile business figures, including Eden Project Chief Executive Tim Smit; former Bank of England governor Lord George; John Smith, CEO of BBC Worldwide and Sir John Banham, Chairman of Johnson Matthey PLC and former Chair of Whitbread.
