Women in business around the country now have a platform to be recognised following the launch of the 2017 Women in Business Awards.
While launching the event, Women in Business President Nur Bano Ali says Women in Business continues to promote women in leadership and executive positions.
Ali says they also want to encourage more women to go into and grow their businesses.
She says that with the sponsorship given by Westpac, they will be able to further encourage women to start businesses.
Meanwhile, Westpac Fiji General Manager Brett Hooker handed over a $70,000 cheque to sponsor the event.
Hooker says that Fiji is a country with so many women with amazing skills, talents and potential.
He says that through these women’s hard work and commitment, they make a substantial contribution to the national economy.
Meanwhile, there will be four categories of awards.
The categories include Businesswoman of the Year, Executive Woman of the Year, Manager of the Year and Aspiring Entrepreneur of the Year.
