The respected Singleton businesswoman was recognised as someone in the industry who has shown outstanding leadership and dedication while encouraging others.
Attributing her success to her positive, can-do attitude, Ms Enwright seizes every opportunity to learn and improve.
She is responsible for the development of CPR's marketing strategy, performance tracking, evaluation and cost estimating, as well as the overseeing of day-to-day business operations.
Having completed training in various aspects of pest control, including her Certificate III in Pest Management and Certificate of Competency in Termite Interception and Baiting Systems, Ms Enwright often takes on the role of technician, taking on a full range of pest control services.
"I want to share the lessons and skills that I've learnt through the creation of CPR Pest Management Services by encouraging other women to enter the industry and mentoring them through their career," she said.
"I like to encourage our team to push themselves and understand how to utilise their strengths.
"At the same time, the team motivates me to push the boundaries, which I feel has contributed to me achieving this award."
This honour is a first for Australia.
Presented at the Rapid Solutions' bi-annual conference, EduCON, the award drew entrants from across Australia and Asia Pacific regions.
Created to encourage confidence and inspire ambition, it recognises the hard work of women in the industry.
"We have some really impressive women in in our industry and this award gives us the opportunity to bring their achievements to the forefront and also to inspire more to follow in their footsteps," major sponsor and BASF business manager David Elmouttie said.
