Ling Valentine wins everywoman Iris Award sponsored by BT Business 2 December 2009: The UK’s leading female entrepreneurs are today recognised for their inspiring achievements at the annual NatWest everywoman Awards, acting as role models for the next generation of young women wanting to go it alone. Ling Valentine, from Gateshead has been chosen as winner of the everywoman Iris Award sponsored by BT Business for a woman whose business growth and success has been greatly improved through successful implementation and use of IT and communications. Her company LINGsCARS.com operates exclusively online, leasing cars at affordable rates across the UK. Operating in a notoriously turbulent sector, LINGsCARS.com has grown year on year since Ling founded it in 2001, with more than 100,000 unique monthly users to the website and an average of £3.5 million worth of cars and vans leased monthly. Her company answers online enquiries in fewer than 10 minutes. Ling has built up an enviable reputation in the new car industry by always delivering on price, product and exceptional customer service and security, plus her ability to keep costs low due to the simple business model of operating exclusively online. Ling is seen as a pioneer in the field, taking an innovative approach by responding to her customers’ demands, rather than following the traditional sales model in the car industry. Dorothy Sheehan, General Manager, BT Business said, "On behalf of BT Business, I am absolutely delighted to be recognising such a superb winner with the everywoman Iris Award, for the best use of IT and Communications. Ling Valentine has fully grasped the power of today's technologies, enabling her to build a creative online business in line with the needs of her customer. Her innovative use of the internet and her dedication to first class customer service should bring her many more years of business success." Co-founder and Director of everywoman, Karen Gill, MBE comments, "2009 has been an incredibly tough year for UK plc. This year, more than ever, we are overwhelmed by the achievements of our award winners. Ling has done incredibly well in a market badly affected by the recession. They have all exhibited gritty determination to succeed, regardless of the obstacles that are thrown at them, all the while demonstrating ethical working practices internally."
