Female touch brings quality to 20:20 show
Comments |
A quartet of girls/ladies deserve an
accolade.
Carole Black has been organising the Kent 2020 Vision show for
five years, along with countless other events.
It’s a Herculean task yet she always pulls it off. She
well deserved her bouquet of flowers and a kiss from Cllr Kevin
Lynes, KCC Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic
Development. She always appears so calm, despite the multiple balls
she has to keep in the air.
As for Barbara Sturgeon, the stalwart host of numerous radio shows
and business evcnts, compered - should that be commered? - the show
from 7am to 10.30pm, another Herculean effort, but so
professional.
And she thinks of the smallest touches, like interviewing the
leader of the Kent Youth Jazz Orchestra who performed so well at
the final dinner. A pity he forgot some of the musicians’
names!
Jo Salter, speaker at the final dinner, did not look like a
fighter pilot. But she was. Britain’s first female in a Tornado GR1
cockpit. An amazing story of grit and determination to break
through an RAF/Ministry of Defence glass ceiling - if not the
cockpit roof - when it came to the pilot’s role. She made it to
Iraq. Well done Jo, an inspiration to young women who aspire to
breaking through others.
And then there was young Victoria Hart, an undergraduate at
Canterbury Christ Church University studying business studies.
She bravely stood up at the end of James Caan’s talk to ask the
Dragon how she could get an internship with one of his companies.
That takes courage and the fact the great man asked her to get in
touch with his PA suggests she has a bright entrepreneurial
future.
