DENISE SKINNER - Juggler of the Year award: Denise Skinner won her prize for the remarkable way she juggles the different priorities in her life.
A single mum from Darlington, she realised she required an income. Having been a trained hairdresser with many years experience, she realised she could provide a mobile facility for local customers, a business which she has been steadily developing.
She is also a foster mother to two children, something to which she also shows a great level of dedication.
According to her nomination, Denise shows grit and determination and possesses the skills and attributes that could best be described as the juggler of the year.
The nomination says she shows a high level of professionalism and dedication and balances both areas superbly well, remaining highly active and dedicated to making her business a success.
