Time to nominate your Director of the Year


Business leaders, their employees and clients across the region are being invited to get their nominations in for the 2013 London and South East Director of the Year awards run by the Institute of Directors (IoD)


Open to members and non-members of the IoD, the awards, sponsored once again this year by PwC, bring together company directors from a variety of backgrounds and recognise their qualities as business leaders.


Last year’s regional competition attracted a high number of quality entries from across the region and culminated in the Gala Awards Dinner in London at which the finalists’ achievements were publicly celebrated.


Rodger Broad, Director of the IoD South, said: “These awards are a wonderful way to raise the profile of your organisation and boost the morale of your staff, as success really does breed success.


“Anybody can nominate directors that they feel make an outstanding contribution to the world of business, and directors can also self-nominate.


“The Gala awards dinner is also a great event at which to network with other high- quality businesses from across London and the south, as well as rewarding staff with a fantastic night out.“
