“I was blown away to win the Award for Entrepreneurship. This award is held in such high regard within the region and means a lot to me. I've had a fantastic year in business, overseeing significant sales growth, completing a merger and writing my first book. Recognition with this award was the end to a brilliant year and I look forward to using it to inspire and support other women in our region.”
Sophie Milliken - CEO, Moja Group
Winner of the Susan Dobson Award for Entrepreneurship 2019
