“It’s that time again when we as a community welcome & recognise a new host of brilliantly skilled women who are making an impact in their respective industries.

It’s time to applaud their tenacity, guts and passion. It’s time to lift them up so that one day you too will be lifted up by the people whose lives you have impacted on.

“It’s time for the 8th edition of the Exquisite Ladies of the Year (ELOY) Award.”
