Not only did B&T honour the best and brightest females at the Women in Media Awards on Friday night via a number of categories, we once again compiled a list of the most powerful women in the industry.
Starting with 300 names, B&T spent weeks whittling that number down to 30, which was bloody hard, might we add!
