Everton's Chief Executive Officer, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, MBE, has been named Business Woman of the Year and netted an awards hat-trick at the National Business Women's Awards 2020.
Professor Barrett-Baxendale had already been named 'Business Woman of the Year' in the large organisation category and ‘Influential Business Woman of the Year', when she was revealed as the judges' choice for the evening's top honour.
And there was a fourth accolade for Professor Barrett-Baxendale when she received a silver award for Corporate Leader of the Year.
The Overall Business Woman of the Year award recognised Everton's CEO for her exceptional leadership of Everton Football Club and steering the response of both the football club and its charity, Everton in the Community, to the global coronavirus outbreak.
