Hey Avo Bloggers, it’s been a great long weekend and I know we all wished it was just a day longer, so instead of having a blue monday I thought I’d share with you a Dilbert comic strip to raise your spirits for the rest of the week.
Today I thought I’d share with you all an extract from an email that we received from Top Women in Business, this email made me feel very proud of Avocado Vision and I’m sure once you read it, you will be too:
“Top Women in Business & Government and Topco Media are thrilled to congratulate Jules Newton on her prestigious award at our Top Women Awards. Her deserved award is testament to the amazing work that she has done in her personal and private service capacity towards the growth and development of South African polity, its economy, grassroots development and empowerment of all of South African women. I strongly believe that we could not have asked for a better representative. Jules is an inspiration to all women across our nation!
Top Women in Business & Government wishes her every success in the year ahead, knowing well that her good work will continue to enrich the lives of all South Africans.
From myself (Ilse Pienaar) and on behalf of the team at Top Women in Business & Government, I hope our paths will continue to criss-cross as we go about our various businesses.”
Avo, take a bow! We have yet again been honoured in the Star Workplace.

… and well done to Avocado Vision, for winning the Top Gender Empowered Company of 2010 Award! Hosted by Topco Media in association with The Top Women in Business and Government.
“In a short span of five years, the Top Women in Business and Government brand has become synonymous with the success of women in the public and private sectors.
This unique initiative seeks to exemplify the changes implemented by government and business structures across all sectors, relating to gender empowerment, as everyone aims to comply with the legislative changes since the inception of democracy.”
This is a great honour for Avovision and we owe it to Jules for building up such a great company.
Congratulations!
