Jean Denton, managing director of Herondrive and a noted rally and race driver, who made the presentations, is an invigorating speaker with a nice line in irony. She has also been nominated Female Executive of the Year, a title which Malcolm Wright, chairman of Cape Friction International and Don International, thought must have been conceived by a chauvinist male.
I am more inclined to believe that it was spawned by a women's liberator with an inferiority complex. Jean is a match for any executive and does not need a consolation prize for not being a man.
She has incisive views on road safety, and deplores public apathy towards it and the use by government of European legislation as an excuse for delaying action in Britain. She says she feels safer at Brands Hatch than in Trafalgar Square, although I can think of several more frightening places. Bournemouth, for instance.
