Nine local companies now have a chance of being crowned Guernsey Business of the Year after making it through the first round of the Guernsey Awards for Achievement’s judging process.
The NatWest Best Small Business Award will be contested by surveying practice Jones Watts Limited, jewellers Ray & Scott and design studio Two Degrees North Limited.
Two companies from the finance industry, Aztec Group, and Clydesdale Bank International, will compete against CCD Architects for the honour of lifting the BWCI Best Medium Award trophy.
And the Healthspan Best Large Business Award will be won by either BDO Limited, Cable & Wireless Communications or Islands Insurance.
One of the winners of the above three awards will then be the proud recipient of the overall Commerce & Employment Business of the Year Award.
Chairman of the judging panel, Deputy Robert Sillars, said the nominations were once again of a strong calibre and demonstrated the strength of Guernsey’s business environment. ‘Judging the nominations for the business awards is always a challenge, not least because every company demonstrates strengths in very different areas. We work independently to an agreed set of criteria and the combined scores of all the judges give us our final three in each business category.’
