Moira businesswoman receives OBE

23/06/2008 A businesswoman in Moira, Northern Ireland has received an OBE as part of the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

At present, she holds the position of director of quality at Bombardier Aerospace in Belfast, having been with the company since 1983.

She previously held the chair of Women into Science, Engineering and Construction, an organisation focused on promoting the careers of females in the science and technology field.
