The award is for an individual who has been instrumental in the
success of a business. It will take into consideration the overall performance
of the business over the last three years, what the entrepreneur believes makes
them different and their vision for the future of the business.
Wendy’s background is in women’s fashion design
having over a decade in experience and working for well known brands like
Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse, River Island, Pink Soda, Anna Sui, Next and
Chilli Pepper to name but a few and most recently George Davies (of Per Una,
George of Asda and founder of Next fame).
Having tired of the traveling and learnt from
the best about how to run a business (George Davies) Wendy decided to bring her
marketing, design and keen eye for fashion to Mackney photography focusing on
Makeovers and portraits whilst also lending her ideas to the commercial/
industrial side.
Looks can be deceiving (Wendy still gets asked for ID
down Sainsburys) but is extremely strategic and plans everything before putting
into action. Key skills are of course
being a people person and her previous experience in fashion of trend forecasting,
styling and a keen eye for creativity. Achievements
are managing to re-locate to Darley Abbey Mills for better presence and space.
Since winning the Local Business Accelerators
in conjunction with the Evening Telegraph in January 2012, Wendy has taken
Mackney Photography from strength to strength.
The duo have relocated to the stunning 2200sq ft purposely built
photography studio in Darley Abbey Mills.
They have since swept up awards in every category in a national
competition held by the BIPP (The
British Institute of Professional Photographers) and numerous other national
photographic competitions.
The winners will be announced at a fashionable
black tie awards ceremony at the Roundhouse on 28 September.
