Shocked
However, despite her rapid
career progression - and
newly-developed management
skills - Emily still admits to
being ‘shocked’ at winning the
Professional Of The Year Award.
“I felt absolute elation, and
apparently I was smiling like the
Cheshire Cat all evening! But I’ve
always worked hard to help the
company make ‘Closed Loop’ a
success, so to have this kind of
recognition means the world
to me.” Indeed, Emily was very
impressed by the whole event:
“I really enjoyed it: the location
this year was really good, people
were enjoying themselves,
and the whole package was
fantastic. The BOSS Awards is a
great forum to catch up with old
friends and meet new ones.”
Looking ahead, Emily is
committed to working hard to
continue the success of ‘Closed
Loop’: “I’m a firm believer in
the concept, and I can only
see more diversification and
opportunities for it.”
