Thirteen other trophies were handed out on a night of glitz, glamour and high entertainment as more than 400 from the local business community gathered for what has become the defining event for female entrepreneurs and women-led businesses across Northern Ireland.

Women in Business chief executive Roseann Kelly said; “They are all women with vision and determination, qualities that have contributed to their success. Some lead businesses that are household names, others will achieve that recognition in the future. All are joined by a common goal to succeed and to inspire.”

Ms Kelly added that The Ramada Plaza was teeming with inspirational women, not least special guest speakers, former Tanaiste Mary Harney, and founder of one of the world’s leading provider of talent acquisition and management services, Rosaleen Blair.

“They are such fantastic role models not just for females in business but the business community as a whole.

“Indeed, everyone in the room tonight should be proud of the role they play and contribution they make to our economy.”
