Chamber of Commerce


Annual Dinner and Awards 2018


Too close to separate – Dee and Rosie are ‘Women of the Year’


By Jessica Brookes


Two women shared a top accolade at the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) annual dinner and awards. Dee Kundi, from VWV, and Rosie


Ginday, from Miss Macaroon, were jointly presented with the ‘Business Woman of the Year’ award (sponsored by Aston University) at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham. The judges could not define a


clear winner in the category. Ms Kundi is a commercial


litigation partner at the leading law firm, commanding a high level of seniority at a young age. During her time at the firm, she has revamped the debt recovery team’s offering with the introduction of a dedicated online portal. Alongside her workplace


achievements, Miss Kundi is an active member of the local business community. She was the first Asian woman to


be appointed a board member of the Birmingham Law Society, a non- executive director of the TAG Midlands Network Group and is involved in a number of pro bono activities, including attending a free legal advice clinic in West Bromwich. Joint winner of the accolade, Ms


Ginday, is the founder of social enterprise Miss Macaroon. The business trains long term, unemployed individuals through the Macroons that Make A Difference (MacsMAD) programme. Trainees take part in the eight- week retail or catering training course, offered up to six months mentoring from the firm, and the opportunity to undertake a level two food hygiene qualification. Ms Ginday’s social enterprise has


trained 45 people, baked macarons for Prince Harry and Megan Markle and operates from three sites in Birmingham. Aside from her business success,


she is also a commissioner on the West Midlands Combined Authority’s Leadership Commission and a member of Inclusive Leaders Forum.


Winning pair: Rosie Ginday and Dee Kundi Mandy Canny, chair of the


judging panel, said: “The judges were unable to single out a winner of this category, as both of these business people demonstrated a huge amount of impact in their respective fields. Ms Kundi is a leader in litigation, a key innovator and a role model for any woman looking to enter the legal sector. “Ms Ginday has brought a positive


change to a number of unemployed people in the region. The judges commented on the huge impact that her business has made to the lives of many people. These winners highlight the hard and exemplary work being done by business women in Greater Birmingham.”


Dee Kundi said: “I am absolutely delighted and honoured to have won Outstanding Business Woman of the Year! This is an amazing accolade and I am very pleased to win this award with Rosie Ginday from Miss Macaroon, a client of VWV. It was an outstanding evening at the annual dinner and awards, which celebrated the best of Birmingham delivering a fabulous night. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the ABCC, the judges, the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, my team at VWV and all my close friends and family who have always supported.”


Rosie Ginday said: “I am really excited and honoured to win the business women of the year award alongside Dee. I was really happy to share the award with Dee, as she too was a well worthy winner. “It is amazing as a social entrepreneur to be highlighted and bring


awareness to businesses like mine, which support the long term unemployed and other social issues, and provide role models for other social entrepreneurs.”
