Top Award for Warwick Business School Student
Latest press releasesIn an event held at Chateau Impney Hotel in Droitwich last night (Monday 13 October), Annie Freres, a graduate of International Business at Warwick Business School (WBS) received the top award in the annual Awards for Business and Management Students.
This is the sixth such award organized by the Association of Business Schools (ABS) in association with The Guardian and Observer newspaper group. Annie will now go forward to the National Business Awards gala ceremony in London on 11th November where the UK Business Student of the Year will be chosen.
The £3000 prize will be put to good use by Annie, as she is about to embark on a charity project for Raleigh International. She will be working on conservation and environmental projects in the national parks in Chile before moving into small towns to work on infrastructure projects. Annie says that the prize money will come in very useful for fundraising and buying the kit she is going to need.
The Association of Business Schools represents the leading 100 business schools of UK universities, higher education institutions and independent management centres, with a combined undergraduate and postgraduate population of more than 200,000 students.
The annual award recognizes the development and calibre of students, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their newly acquired business skills in practice.
Annie, 23, is a Belgian brought up in Germany. She is fluent in English, French, German and Polish. Her French came in particularly useful on her student project working with the Coty cosmetics company in Paris, when she was heavily involved in the launch of the company's Jennifer Lopez range. She completed her international baccalaureate at Oxford before embarking on her degree in International business at Warwick Business School.
Frances O'Brien, Director of the International Business degree at WBS, who attended the Awards ceremony, said "Annie is a highly self-motivated and talented person, who has worked hard and deserves this prize. So it is really good to see her longed-for plans coming to fruition through this award."
Dean of WBS Howard Thomas also attended the event. He said
"Annie is one of an extremely strong cohort of students, and represented her group and WBS admirably. Her prize is very well deserved because of the high level of responsibility and quality of work she produced on her project. She has a very exciting future ahead of her."
