HUNDREDS of people turned up at the Novotel Entertainment Centre in Lami last week to recognize and celebrate the commercial success of women in Fiji.
Women in Business Awards Businesswoman of the Year Vera Chute said the risks her parents took 23 years ago had paid off.
Ms Chute who is the managing director of Value City Limited said the award was in recognition of her parents hard work.
“Winning this award is in recognition and appreciation of my parents foresight hard work and sacrifices,” she said.
Ms Chute said because of her parent’s sacrifices they now had seven branches, three warehouses Fiji-wide, franchises in Samoa, Solomon Islands and Kiribati.
