Jodie Milne will compete in the Telstra Business Women's Award finals.

Quest franchisee, Jodie Milne, who operates the Palmerston Serviced Apartments, has taken out the Hudson Private and Corporate Sector Award at the 2011 Telstra Northern Territory Business Women's Awards.


Milne now proceeds with other Northern Territory winners to the national finals of the Awards which will be announced in Melbourne on 18 November.

"Our business is about people and it’s the guests who choose to stay with us who make our business what it is – without them we wouldn't be here," she said.

"I'd like to all our guests and clients for their loyalty to our business and we look forward to working with them, now and in the future".

After several years working at Quest's corporate office in its national sales team, Milne joined partner James Watson to become Quest franchisees and open the 4.5 AAA Tourism rated Quest Palmerston.

Paul Constantinou, chairman Quest Serviced Apartments, said "As a franchise business, we are privileged to be involved in the development of so many young businesspeople like Jodie. It’s extremely rewarding to see them grow into industry-leaders and represent the Quest brand.

"On behalf of the Quest business, we congratulate Jodie for her personal and professional achievements to date and wish her the very best for the national finals," he said.
