The scene at this year's awards evening

A NEW award has been added to those that will be presented at the gala Jersey Enterprise Awards dinner next year.

The Development of People Award is being sponsored by Skills Jersey and will mean nine will be handed out at the prestigious event.

The new accolade has been designed to acknowledge businesses which make a sustained effort to invest in people, both within their organisation and in the wider Island community.

Meanwhile, the deadline for the entries for five of the nine awards that will be handed out in March next year is on Thursday this week.

This award ceremony means more to the sponsors than the people taking part. Handing out trophies like confetti.

Chris…
You clearly know nothing about the Jersey Enterprise Awards…
As a previous award winner in 2008 my business benefited SO much both from the exposure it received; the credibility it gained; and the support I received as a direct result of entering these awards.
I would recommend entering to ANY local business wishing to evaluate performance and significantly improve strategy and growth into the future.
…Handing out trophies like confetti…Chris, you should perhaps check out the criteria needed to enter these awards and the sheer volume of companies that then do so. It is clearly well deserved acknowledgement!
