“Championing a 4-day working week, hosting weekly workshops, and constantly adapting Atlas’ bespoke CRM system, Clare has bolstered her translation agency’s project management practices, leading to sustainable growth and commercial success.” Excerpt from the award-winning entry

There in spirit, and in cardboard!

When she’s not busy heading her translation agency and being an award-winning business woman, Clare is also a doting mum of three and an enthusiastic charity project champion, so sadly she couldn’t be there in person to collect her award. But she was there in spirit… and in cardboard!
