EDWINA FLETCHER NOMINATED AS NEXT MARGARET HIRSCH WOMAN IN IN SOUTH AFRICA

Edwina Fletcher, who owns a successful online travel agency, Webtours, was announced as the 8th Margaret Hirsch Woman in Business Achiever of the Year finalist recently at Hirsch Umhlanga’s monthly Business Women’s networking session. Fletcher comes from a background of sales, employment and accounting, owned her own successful recruitment agency and has been nominated as Nedbank/ Femina - Women of the Year, owns and runs a successful online travel agency with the main focus being on leisure travel. "I opened Webtours with absolutely no travel background and started off organizing trips to Zanzibar. A year later I was established enough to make a living from Webtours and gave up my job as a book keeper. I have since gone on to specialize on specific holiday trips such as honeymoons, skiing and beach travel which have really taken off!" Fletcher said. Fellow Margaret Hirsch nominee, Nicola Louch, owner of NMM Insurance gave a talk on the importance of women in insurance. A monthly finalist will be announced at every Business Women’s networking function at the branch until the final event in November, when the winner will be announced.
