Julie White, managing director of D-Drill, has been named the Vitalise Business Woman of the Year 2011 at a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, which celebrates women’s achievements across the Midlands.
D-Drill is a diamond drilling and sawing company based in Coventry. Julie bought the family business from her father in 2008 and has since modernised the company as well as increasing turnover.
Of the award, she said:
"I am absolutely delighted and honoured to have won such a major award.
The competition was so tough and I am just thrilled that the judges chose me and I will use this as an opportunity to further champion the cause of women in business.
It’s not a case of competing against men – it’s all about giving other women the confidence to see what they can achieve. The industry that I am in is traditionally dominated by men and if I can do what I have done – other women can too."
