Jane Adams, Territory Manager for Dansac Ltd was the winner of our Industry Professional of the Year Award 2009.
I’m very pleased with the result as I’ve got to know Jane well over the last couple of years, and know from personal experience how proactive she is in supporting charities and ostomy support groups. I remember arriving at the official national launch evening of Ostomy Lifestyle to be greeted by Jane directing traffic, completely unbidden. This is typical of Janes attitude, quietly helping in the background and rarely being recognised for her support.

When she received the award Jane said “I was really, really surprised to be nominated and delighted to have won. At Dansac we strive to make a positive difference to people’s lives and I see this as recognition of the hard work of the whole team.”
This first year of awards was a good one for Dansac staff; Nancy Jackson, Executive Territory Manager for the company was also shortlisted, so we took the opportunity for a joint presentation. She said “I have worked in stoma Care for more than 15 years and have watched nurses and patients collect well deserved recognition, but never have I been aware of any recognition of individuals in Industry”
Kim Hill, Territory Manager at Hollister was also shortlisted for her commitment to local groups and events. I’m looking forward to next year’s awards to hear about all the other industry representatives out there, who are busy doing their bit to support the many stoma support groups and related charities.
