Sponsors of Hantsweb Awards 2007 in association with Axon
"I set myself a life goal and business objective to enrich the life experience of 1,000,004 people every year. I've always believed that setting very high expectations of yourself and others is the route to success and 1,000,004 is certainly shooting for the moon… when I was nominated I really felt that the universe was conspiring to help me meet my goal. When I won the award I was sure!”
Winner, Hantsweb Awards 2005
