"Until we see women achieve equal representation in all aspects of the hospitality industry awards such as these provide multiple benefits including:
Inspiration - if you see others like you achieving excellence you know it's possible
Inclusion - showing different ways to succeed and reframing what successful can look like
Celebration - winners will have broken multiple barriers and ceilings to get where they are and deserve recognition for doing so
I am extremely proud and excited to be a part of these awards and cannot wait to be inspired by the fantastic nominees and winners."
