The Guardian had a good night at the British Press Awards last night picking up three prizes, but Guardian Media Group chief Executive Carolyn McCall also enjoyed awards success being named the Veuve Cliquot Businesswoman of the Year.

According to the Independent, however, Tesco has insisted that it will not pressure McCall to step down despite the libel row.
