Ms Mantzarapis was awarded the Marie Claire Young Business Woman’s Award at the official ceremony held in Adelaide on 8 October.
At 26, Ms Mantzarapis was involved in a management buyout of a then $A2 million company in the resource sector. Five years on, she is currently steering what is now an $A8.6 million company through the strongest growth phase in its 40 year history.
Ms Mantzarapis said that “The award win is a real reflection of the success of our whole team at Maloney Field Services.”
Ms Mantzarapis, along with other category winners, will now proceed to the national finals of the 2010 Telstra Business Women’s Awards to be announced on 11 November 2010.
