Search is on

The annual search is now on to find the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the Year.

An explanatory booklet and nomination form is available from Lucy Myners at Veuve Clicquot on 0207 245 4227 or by email: madcollins@compuserve.com. You can also download the information from www.veuveclicquotaward.com. Closing date is February 9, 2006.

Next year’s winner not only wins the title but also joins the exclusive club for international businesswomen created by the award. She will receive the unique silver trophy and, during a visit to the company’s vineyards in Reims, will baptise a vine in her own name and receive birthday champagne for the rest of her life.

Previous winners of the award include Chey Garland of Garlands Call Centres; Dianne Thompson of Camelot; Marjorie Scandino, the first female CEO in the FTSE 100; and Anita Roddick.

Successful nominators will be invited to the presentation at Claridge’s in April and the person who nominates the winner will receive a dozen magnums of Veuve Clicquot Vintage Champagne.
