Managing director of Equiom Sheila Dean has been named International Business Woman of the Year.
She was presented with the honour at the Women in Business Awards for the North West and Isle of Man.
The inaugural event in Manchester was held by Forward Ladies, and Sheila's award was handed over by Mike Eccleshall of UK Trade and Investment.
Sheila says she's delighted to win, but modestly says much of the credit belongs to her colleagues at Equiom and her family.
