(Commonwealth Bank Business Owner Category)

Congratulations to our exceptional Licensee Pauline Francis who was named winner of the 2011 Western Australian Commonwealth Bank Business Owner Award at the 2011 Telstra WA Business Women’s Awards last week.

Pauline overcame the effects of the global financial crisis on Perth’s property market to be ranked in the top one per cent of the national LJ Hooker network. Managing twenty property management and sales staff, she was the first WA woman to be admitted to the LJ Hooker Board of Admirals international network in its 81-year history. LJH Admirals are a select group of high achievers chosen to drive growth for the LJ Hooker network.This year, she and her husband Darryl were also named the network’s Franchise Owner’s of the Year for WA.

Pauline was one of only 16 finalists chosen from hundreds of nominees for this year's Telstra WA Business Women’s awards. All Western Australian winners will proceed to the national finals of the Telstra Business Women’s Awards which will be held in Melbourne on the 18th of November.

Over the last few years she has been recognised amongst her peers and within the industry for her unwavering dedication to improving Property Management systems and best practice procedures, not only for her own team in Leeming but throughout the wider LJ Hooker network state-wide and nationally. 

With Pauline currently away, BDM Emma Trezise accepted the award on her behalf last Tuesday at the Hyatt Hotel and said in her speech, “good leader’s make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things.Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organisation.  Pauline is this leader and we are very proud to work alongside such an inspiring woman both as colleagues and as friends”

The awards are in their seventeenth year, and aim to shine the light on leaders in business who, “inspire, connect and achieve so much”.
