2005 First Woman of Business
Julia Rogers, General manager, central services, the Co-operative Group
One of the first women recruits to go to Sandhurst; one of the first four women in the Royal Military Police. Formerly head of security at the Co-operative Group (another first!), she now runs its central services operation.
The judges said: "Julia Rogers simply does not accept barriers. She`s been a trailblazer wherever she`s been. And now, they said, she is doing it again by committing herself to working with ex-offenders."
