The Asian Business Federation has awarded Certain Curtain Theatre Company founder, Claire Moore, the Outstanding Woman in Business Award at the annual Tiger Awards. The award is sponsored by the Ethnic Minority Business Forum (North West).
On Saturday 21st November 2009, over 500 multicultural businesses from across the region gathered at the Asian Business Federation’s 2009 Tiger Awards to recognise the outstanding achievements of this year’s winners. In all, seven North West companies were honoured at the ceremony, which was sponsored by HSBC and took place at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester. An audience of nearly five hundred watched the presentations, which were led by broadcast journalist Reham Khan and public service modernisation specialist, Sir Bill Taylor.
In his ABF Chairman’s welcome, Tahir Mohsan said: “The Tiger Awards celebrate not only the diversity of the region in terms of ethnicity, culture and heritage but also the entrepreneurial passion and spirit shown by the region’s business men and women. As this year’s award nominations demonstrate, we are seeing a greater number of female entrepreneurs and young people developing innovative business ideas and taking on the enterprise journey.
Claire Moore wins the prestigious Inspiring Women Awards
There are truly inspiring women in the North West, many of whom go unrecognised and who do not realise how they become role models for others. It’s not often you get to hear in person the stories behind such heroines, often unsung, but this is what over 350 guests were treated to at a sell-out lunch in Manchester.
At a prestigious celebrity lunch at the Midland Hotel on Friday 16th May, Danny Wallace, author, journalist and TV and radio presenter presented the Inspiring Women trophy for the Arts to: Claire Moore
Claire set up Certain Curtain Theatre in Preston, Lancashire nearly 20 years ago, passionate about encouraging new writing and producing issue-based plays. She is an amazing role model, inspiring young artists and writers and willingly offering support and advice. Claire uses theatre as a powerful tool for positive social change and revels in taking performance to the heart of communities. With tenacity, drive and great artistic flair, Claire has touched people’s hearts and minds, using ground-breaking plays to help educate and raise awareness of many subjects but especially domestic violence, writing and performing award-winning plays. She is currently touring LADY IN RED – an award-winning drama exploring domestic abuse across the Country.
Claire is immersed in the Arts in its widest sense – a writer, director, producer, actor, tour-organiser, budget planner and fundraiser! Founder and Award organiser, Jacqueline Hughes-Lundy, joint managing director of Inspiring Connections, says “for the past 16 years I have been reading the stories about the most amazing women imaginable and think each year that these achievements can’t be matched...but they are and in greater numbers. I hope that by recognising these women through the Inspiring Women Awards, we play some small part in encouraging others.”
