Janet Street-Porter CBE has been announced as the guest speaker of this year’s Women of Achievement Awards on Hull.
Organised by Women in Business Hull, the Women of Achievement Awards is the region’s biggest celebration of women in business, and champion the achievements of women who either run their own business or hold a leading role in their profession, industry, organisation or charity.
Known for her straight-talking and no-nonsense attitude, Janet Street-Porter’s vast career has spanned across print, radio and broadcast media for over five decades. A regular panellist on ITV1’s Loose Women, she has a regular column on the MailOnline and has written for newspapers and magazines from the Daily Mail to Vogue.
Caroline Neadley, chair of Women in Business Hull, said of the announcement: “We are so pleased to welcome Janet Street-Porter as our guest speaker at this year’s Women of Achievement Awards, sponsored by Wilkin Chapman solicitors.
“She is a brilliant example of how, with drive and determination, you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. One of the few women to edit a national newspaper – The Independent on Sunday – Janet has also written seven books as well as produce numerous television series from This is Your Life to Fantasy Football League and devised award-winning series for young people. We can’t wait to hear all about her experiences and insights.
“Janet is known for her opinions on every subject and I am sure she will be an entertaining speaker at the awards.”
The event is on Friday November 15th.
