SP Brewery backs Westpac’s Entrepreneur Award

SP Brewery has, for the sixth consecutive year, stepped in as the platinum sponsor of the Westpac Outstanding Women Award.

The brewery yesterday announced its involvement in once again sponsoring the Entrepreneur Award.

The SP Brewery Entrepreneur Award recognises outstanding achievements by a woman with at least a 50 percent shareholding in an organisation in the field of innovation for new products and services.

In show of this support, SP Brewery Managing Director Stan Joyce presented a K25,000 cheque to Westpac’s Chief Financial Officer David Brennan.

“We’re very proud to be involved. Six years ago we joined with Westpac and it nicely complements the work we do in the whole gender issues in PNG,” Joyce said.

The Brewery has always been supportive of community initiatives and continues its association through Sports, Promoting Cultural events, as well as providing awareness of Responsible Drinking & Gender Equality.

Joyce said the WOW awards is the appropriate tool to promote the efforts if women in the public and private partnership sectors and congratulated Westpac Bank for staging these awards, giving recognition to women who continuously contribute to the development of PNG.

"So we’re looking for women with entrepreneurial skills to go out there and build a business,” he furthered.

Welcoming this contribution, Brennan expressed gratitude to SP Brewery for being one of the long-time sponsors.

“Westpac’s very proud to be holding the event for the 10th consecutive year and it’s the 6th year for SP Brewery to be our platinum sponsor so we certainly value the partnership we have with SP.”

He said there are also other sponsors that have already come on board through recognising women’s contributions in various areas including business, leadership, community and sports.

In the meantime, he says WOW nominations are coming along wonderfully.
