2012’s seven best Women in the City
THE Museum of London Docklands was the venue for this year’s Woman of Achievement Awards, where ladies from around the City gathered in Canary Wharf to find out who had been chosen as one of the seven winners. In no particular order they included Heather Dixon at American Express for accountancy, Accenture’s Emma McGuigan for technology, Denise Jagger from Eversheds for legal services, Shachi Shah at Barclays for financial services and taking home the facilities management prize was Rebecca Stevenson at RBS. Founder Gwen Rhys told The Capitalist afterwards: “It was an emotional evening: at moments there was barely a dry eye in the place!”
