Shortlist: NOVI Disruptor of the Year 2026

Fiona Paré recognised at the Novi Leadership Summit & Awards

The Novi Leadership Summit & Awards celebrate women whose leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship are making a difference across business and industry. Novi’s ethos, “Celebrating Women. Mobilising Allies. Shaping the Future.”, runs through the programme and the people it recognises.

We’re delighted that our founder, Fiona Paré, has been shortlisted for Novi Disruptor of the Year 2026.

Being called a disruptor makes us think about what we are trying to change. At Queensdale, we are opening up access to the expertise, trusted suppliers and transparent trade pricing that homeowners have often struggled to find. Our members stay in control of their own projects, and we make sure they feel informed and confident at every stage.

Novi’s focus on allies matters to us, because Queensdale has always depended on the people around it: our team, the designers and suppliers in our network, and the members who trust us with their homes.

Thank you to Novi for the recognition, and congratulations to everyone shortlisted alongside Fiona.
