Vernacare’s Emma Sheldon is shortlisted for Director of the Year UK award

Emma Sheldon, Group Marketing Director for infection prevention products company Vernacare, has been shortlisted for the UK International Director of the Year by the Institute of Directors (IOD).

Having been crowned the North West International Director of the Year earlier this year, she has been shortlisted for the national award, which will be presented at the grand final in London on 21 October 2016.

Emma leads Vernacare’s marketing across 48 countries, including successful new market entry into southern Asia, China, India, Middle East, Japan and France.

She is a group board member of the UK India Business Council (UKIBC), a UKTI trade ambassador, and a board member of Greater Manchester Regional Growth Fund. These are roles in which she encourages other businesses to expand international trade and diversify into new global markets.

Emma Sheldon said: “It’s a huge honour to reach the UK final of the IOD awards and to gain recognition for Vernacare’s export success. Our hygienic single-use toileting and washing products are used in 96% of NHS trusts and now this best practice system has been adopted in 48 other countries. Our award winning products are reducing the risk of vulnerable patients contracting potentially deathly infections such as MRSA, Clostridium difficile, E.Coli, Norovirus and Ebola. We are proud to champion cleaner, safer healthcare worldwide.”
