Corporate Pro

Great news. Cathie and I just got back from Sydney where I won the inaugural national award for corporate governance professional of the year (2007) in an ASX company other than an ASX 100 company. We had dinner at a gala presentation at Pier 1 under the bridge at the same time as QE11 and Queen Mary 2 were showing off on the harbor so it was a magical evening. If you would like to know more about the award have a look at this web site:

I wasn't expecting to win so it was agreat surprise at the awards but unfortunately they didn't allow the winners to make a speech! So I'd just like to thank my Mum and Dad for teaching me right from wrong and my brothers for teaching me to hide my easter eggs.

Love
Ash & Cathie

Congrats ash. what was the prize? I hope you got something nice like a pennant! Now you have made it, am I forgiven for swapping your marble collection for the toy soldiers?. Once again, well done!

The prize was a perspex trophy which will go straight next to my Hamilton U/13 Best Forward Mug. I'm hoping that more tangible rewards may flow from my next salary negotiation?

As far as your dud deal on the marbles is concerned, all is forgiven!!! I'm sure you've paid for your lack of commercial accumen many times over since then.

Clearly the judges were unaware of the cheese incident...

Love ya work Ash !! Like Stu I reckon you got your start in the refundable bottle scandal but congrats for your success. With your now recognised corporate nous I reckon you could make it in any WA Bond backed company or even our cabinet!!!! I think 99% of lawyers are giving the rest of you a bad name
