Press Release - 23 February 2010

Carbon Footprint's Dr Wendy Buckley shortlisted as a leading woman in business

Most people still think that the majority of businesses are run by men due to the stereotypical images that we see all around us. That’s why carbonfootprint.com’s Dr Wendy Buckley is delighted to be short-listed for the prestigious National Women on Their Way Awards 2010 in the High Growth Business category.

The competition this year has been particularly tough so it’s a huge honour for Wendy to be short-listed. Her business Carbon Footprint – founded & entirely owned by Wendy & her husband John Buckley, has successfully served businesses from SMEs in the local Hampshire region up to global brands such as Deutsche Bank and IKEA across a breadth of environmental programmes, all aimed at sustaining business & competitive advantage while reducing impact on our environment. Wendy holds a Ph.D. in Physics and had a previous background in business development & marketing before starting Carbon Footprint Ltd . She is also a dedicated mother of two young children under 3y old.

There are four short-listed candidates for the award and the winner will be announced on Friday 19th March at an Annual Awards Lunch taking place at Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham.

The Women on Their Way Awards is the brainchild of former Apprentice Candidate Jo Cameron and her Co-Director Lisa Ibbotson.

Jo Cameron added “we are delighted that Wendy has been shortlisted. There are so many amazing women in the UK who don’t always recognise the impact they have made and it is my absolute privilege to be inspired by so many incredible women. We are very much looking forward to announcing the winners in a few weeks time”

This year the judges include Gill Fielding and Caroline Marsh of TV’s Secret Millionaire and other esteemed women from both the public and private sectors. They will be judging the shortlisted candidates over the coming weeks.
