Chief Operations Officer of
Hirsch’s, Margaret Hirsch, has been
nominated as a finalist in the Entrepreneur section of the Annual Business
Women of the Year Awards run by the Business Women’s Association of South
Africa (BWSA). The nominations were announced at a function held in the
Executive suite at Nedbank, Sandton City yesterday (July 26th). Nedbank and Telkom are co sponsors of the
event.
There are three finalists in
the Entrepreneur section, Johanna Mukoki, MD and joint founder of Travel With
Flair, Pria Hassan, CEO of Women of Africa Investments and Margaret. The announcement of the winner in this
category, and also the Corporate category, will be announced at a gala function
in Johannesburg on August 28, 2012
This is the 33rd
year that the competition has been in existence – and co-incidentally, the Hirsch’s
have been in business for 33 years, having founded their Appliance and
Electronics company 33 years ago.
Margaret and Allan are joint founders of this family run business,
starting out with R900 when they opened their doors in a small shop in 1979. With eleven branches spread throughout KZN,
Gauteng and the Cape, they plan to cross the R1
billion turnover mark for the 2012 financial year.
