It celebrates senior women leaders and their impact across the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail sectors, and showcases the variety of roles and careers women have to inspire those more junior to pursue a career in the industry.

Koreen Fader, QVC UK Market Lead and Diversity in Retail Advisory Board Member said: “This is fantastic and deserved recognition for Lorna, Alexandra and Chiho. Their career paths and achievements rightly position them as inspiring role models across Qurate Retail Group and QVC. Congratulations on your inclusion.”
