Welcome to our Awards and Achievements page.
fruit to suit has been finalists and winners for a number of awards. It is fantastic for our team to be recognised for all their hard work.
My personal favourite was winning the Social Entrepreneur 'Inspiring Women' in 2010.
Most women I have spoken to agree that when you have children you lose a lot of confidence in your own abilities. I struggled to see myself as a business woman feeling like a 'mum in disguise', thinking one day someone was going to catch me out, 'She's not really a business woman, she's just a mum!"
My sister (and general manager) attended the award ceremony with me and on my winning announcement whispered into my ear "Well, are you a business woman now?"
To be given this award was amazing! The thought that I could inspire other women to set up their own businesses and achieve their own goals is heart warming.
