Wendy Bartlett, the illustrious Managing Director of bartlett mitchell has been awarded the "Travel, Tourism & Hospitality Entrepreneur of the Year" at The Shine Awards 2010.
“These women provide inspirational role models for all the professionals in our sector, that’s both women and men”, said Brian Wisdom, host for the evening and CEO of People 1st. “Our research found that whilst over 60% of the workforce is made up of women, only 6% of board director positions within the industry are filled by women. As one of the country’s most dynamic industries, we all have a duty to change that disparity. Our winners are testament to the remarkable contribution women make to their businesses and to the sector. They will also encourage more women from diverse backgrounds to consider travel, tourism and hospitality as a long term, fulfilling career option.”
