My great grandmother was a confectioner and my grandmother had many a food talent from icing to making her own mulberry wine; the spare room cupboard always had funny noises coming from it. Gran encouraged me to enter a few competitions, one of which we watched from a distance while the judging took place. Fantastic Fudge soon adorned all available surfaces at home; oozed into the garage space and then into the wooden hut purchased for extra storage. Nomusa and Victor joined Lizzie and then there were four. Business-wise Tasha's Fantastic Fudge was also growing: greater volumes meant the need for new systems, planning, technology, training and trade/business associations that would ensure the product became known, loved and sought after. Distributors become part of the business to leverage time and took responsibility for selling; organizing tastings/promotions and being the face of Tasha's to a growing customer base. From there it was a short jump to a first big show in Johannesburg (scary!) then onto the Good Food and Wine Show in Cape Town (fraught but successful with 6 new flavours launched to applause! Online buying has now become a reality and watch the stores for our other new exciting releases. Three external businesswomen were selected to judge the 2014 Achiever of the Year competition. Applicants were judged based on the various criteria including any recognition received for outstanding entrepreneurship, innovations or promotions over the past 12 months; personal social responsibility activities over the past 12 months; reasons given for why customers should do business with them; motivation for what inspires and drives her; and how the applicant contributes to UWA. Janine O'Connor of Books and Books who took 3rd place, told us that she has provided 8 years of excellent service to her customers, and acknowledged that family and friends are key to her existence. She owns 2 practices, and is very passionate about fundraising, training, counselling, and giving back. She is a sought after speaker both locally and internationally. She says that the experience of working with people who are less fortunate than herself drives her to always try to do the best she can and she is always considerate of people with disabilities.
