Title: Chairman aiming for Achievement Award

WIP SE Chairman is finalist for Jaguar 2008 Woman of Achievement Award


Carol Bell, Chairman of WIP South East Branch and senior project manager at consultant Robinson Low Francis, has won the Property category of the Women in the City Awards.
She will now compete as one of eight London-based professional business women finalists for the overall Jaguar 2008 Woman of Achievement Award.
The annual award recognises excellence and celebrates the achievements of senior and partner-level professionals working in City of London, Canary Wharf, and Mayfair. Award categories include Accountancy, Alternative Investment, Financial Services, Insurance, Law, Management Consultancy and for the first time in 2008, Facilities Management and Property.
Gwen Rhys, chief executive of Networking Culture and creator of the Women in the City Awards, said: “Despite the credit crunch London remains one of the most competitive financial marketplaces in the world.
“These Awards throw a spotlight on these women and the role they play in directing and shaping the future of our great city.”
Prof Susan Vinnicombe, chair of the judging panel and director of the Centre for Developing Women Business Leaders at Cranfield University, said: “The quality of all the applicants was extremely high and the short-listed candidates present the very best exemplars of women who excel within their chosen professions and, at the same time, champion the progress of women and make a real difference.”
The award will be presented on 28 November at the 6th Annual Women in the City Lunch held at Plaisterers’ Hall, London.
