Martina Jennings with sponsor Eimear Govern, Marks & Spencer Ireland at the awards ceremony
Martina Jennings, CEO of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, has won the Social Entrepreneur of the Year award at this year’s IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards.
Crowned at a ceremony in The Clayton Hotel in Dublin, the IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards celebrates the success, talent and accomplishment of female business peers across a wide arc of industries, professions and communities.
Becoming CEO of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation in 2017, this is Ms Jennings’ third accolade as she was awarded Mayo’s Most Inspirational Woman in 2015 and won Mayo Person of the Year in 2020.
Ms Jennings explained that she was 'thrilled' to have been shortlisted for the award, but winning was 'truly special'.
She continued: "I must thank IMAGE, the judges and the sponsors for a wonderful evening and I want to dedicate my award to all of the families who we have supported over the years.”
Mike Smith, Chairman of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, said the organisation were ‘overjoyed and immensely proud’ to hear the news.
“Out of 650 entries and 125 nominations, this is an incredible achievement. Martina’s exceptional leadership in the past eight years has brought the Foundation from strength to strength,” he concluded.
