Harriet Green, chief executive officer of Premier Farnell has made the final cut for a prestigious business award.
She is one of five finalists in the Veuve Cliquot Business Woman Award for 2009. Green joined Premier Farnell in 2006 and since then has refocused the company, aiming its strategy clearly at a core electronic design engineering customer base. Web innovation and activity has been stepped up, and the company has also launched into new markets, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region.
Under her watch Premier Farnell has established a Trust Agenda which is making firm commitments on corporate social responsibilities and the company's impact on environmental issues.
The winner will be announced next Tuesday April 28 at a - surprise, surprise -champagne reception at the Saatchi Gallery in London.
