Mandy Foley-Quin was announced as the winner by Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, Governor of New South Wales in Sydney at the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award lunch, attended by one hundred of Australia’s most powerful and successful business leaders.
The Award commemorates Madame Clicquot, who was arguably the world’s first woman entrepreneur. Janet Holmes à Court, a previous winner of the Award and a member of the Australian judging panel, believes Mandy Foley-Quin is an outstanding winner. “Madame Clicquot’s courage and fortitude, her pursuit of excellence and innovation even when faced with immense challenges are a powerful inspiration for us in 2009, as we deal with the global financial crisis. The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award recognises and celebrates these qualities, and Mandy possesses them in abundance. She has been a trailblazer in her industry, built a strong and enduring business and created a powerful service brand. Her commitment to training, her hands-on dedication to quality, combined with her ongoing contribution to the community singled her out.”
Nominations were received from throughout Australia, with judges selecting four finalists: Mandy Foley-Quin CEO, Stedmans Hospitality; Nicole Hollows, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Macarthur Coal; Elizabeth Lewis-Gray, Managing Director, Gekko Systems; and Naomi Simson, Founder and CEO, Red Balloon.
