Judging underway in South East Director of the Year Awards
Judges for this year’s London and South East Director of the Year Awards run by the Institute of Directors (IoD) and sponsored by PwC LLP, have begun the arduous task of sifting through the nominations
Rodger Broad, director for the IoD in the South East, said: “These annual awards recognise the hard work, inspiration and management skills of business leaders in a wide variety of sectors.
“This year, over 300 directors’ names have been put forward, which, in the face of these challenging economic times, is testament to the ongoing hard work and excellence of business leaders in the region.
“From those nominated, we have more than 100 entries to consider for the awards. The judges have begun their work, but clearly have some difficult decisions to make.“
John Minards, South East regional leader of PwC, major sponsor of
the competition, said difficult economic times made it all the more relevant to reward success.
He said: “Over the past 12 months, directors have faced some of the most challenging economic conditions in living memory. Never has it been more important to recognise and celebrate business leaders who continue to manage through the downturn and ensure business emerges fit for the future.“
HSBC Bank, sponsor of the International category, added: “We understand that recognising and supporting the needs of an international business is critical in today’s global economy and take great delight in seeing British businesses be successful
in overseas markets. Thinking globally and acting locally has never been more important.“
The finalists will be chosen from across the whole of London and the South East of England and invited to attend the awards gala dinner at the Landmark Hotel, London on Friday, April 19.
The judges are looking at various criteria including the candidate’s personal influence on their business, their corporate social responsibility and how they interact with their staff and customers.
Directors are competing in seven categories, including the Chairman’s Award for Leadership in Corporate Responsibility and
Family Business Director of the Year.
The panel of experts includes last year’s winners of these awards as well as some of the region’s leading businessmen.
Last year saw Brian May, managing director at the Berthon Boat Company, Lymington, shortlisted in the Director of the Year category for a business between £5 million and £24.99m turnover.
