PM+M personal assistant wins woman of the year award

Kirsty Wright of Blackburn-based PM+M has been named Personal Assistant Business Women of the Year at the Forward Ladies Women in Business Awards North West 2015.

Kirsty said: “Winning the award was a real surprise but I was delighted when my name was read out. I love my job so receiving this accolade means an awful lot to me. I’d like to thank Forward Ladies for this acknowledgement as it does an amazing job in promoting and rewarding talented business women across the whole country.” Stephen Anderson added: “Kirsty has become an intrinsic and much valued part of our business so we couldn’t be happier for her. We know how good she is at her job and it’s fantastic that her skills have been recognised by such a well known and much respected organisation.”
