SUCCESSFUL MANAGING DIRECTOR OF LANGTRY MANOR CREATES AWARDS TO CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF DORSET BUSINESS WOMEN
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
Tara Howard, Managing Director of the exclusive Langtry Manor - called the best hotel in Bournemouth by The Guardian - believes successful women rarely get the recognition they deserve. So, as a further celebration of Bournemouth's Bicentenary in 2010, Tara has created 'The Langtry Manor Business Women Awards.
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
"I realised there was a need" says Tara "women often have to work harder in order to succeed in a man's world and I feel we need to be recognised for our efforts."
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
There are eleven award categories acknowledging the valuable contribution Dorset's businesswomen make to the local economy. All categories are sponsored by female-friendly companies.
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
An award close to Tara's heart is 'Business Mother of the Year' sponsored by the Daily Echo. The award will go to a successful woman with her own growing, exciting business who has managed to balance work with the demands and commitments of a family. It reflects Tara's own experience building Langtry Manor into one of the best, small, privately owned destination hotels in the country.

undefined
undefined
undefined
"To succeed at both at the same time is the big challenge" says Tara "in business you feel guilty that you're not spending enough time at work or with the children."
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
Other categories include 'Entrepreneur of the Year', 'New Business Award' and Special Woman Award to someone who has overcome obstacles to succeed in business or has dedicated their business efforts to charity.
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
P-PR has sponsored the PR Initiative Award for the most exciting public relations campaign that proved successful for a local business.
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
Despite its focus on women, there is a one category which could be won by a man! 'The Heart Award - Best Employer' will go to the best boss or company as voted by its female employees.
undefined
undefined
undefined
undefined
Deadline for applications is April 1st and the finalists will be invited to the exclusive awards ceremony dinner at Langtry Manor on
May 13th. The Lady Mayor, Councillor Beryl Baxter will be in attendance along with many other influential business women… and men!
