The Solent Business Awards: now open for entries
Nominations are invited for the Solent Business Awards which, now in it’s fourth year, is already recognised as the leading multi-category awards scheme in the region
Winning or being shortlisted in a category has proved invaluable to previous entrants. It helps energise employees, reinforce reputations with clients and suppliers, and promote the company to potential targets.
The Awards evening will be held at the Hilton at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton on Thursday October 18 with guest speaker John Pienaar and hosted by Sally Taylor.
Pienaar is the BBC’s deputy political editor and presenter of the weekly Westminster round- up Pienaar’s Politics on Radio 5 Live. A seasoned reporter, he sees his job as beating a path through the forest of government spin. Ever since his original, often controversial parliamentary sketch for the Independent, he has acted as tour guide and translator of goings on in the Westminster village.
Thursday October 18 Hilton at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton
Our guest speaker – John Pienaar
Our host – Sally Taylor
Pienaar originally trained at South London Press, covering whatever was occurring on his doorstep – be it street crime, domestic violence, sex, drugs or rock’n’roll. He then became an Old Bailey correspondent and even wrote an angling column (without ever having held a fishing rod).
Instantly recognisable to television news audiences, Pienaar has spent hundreds of hours standing in the rain outside 10 Downing Street. He was also invited to take part in a celebrity boxing show, only for it to be cancelled for fear that someone might get hurt. Picking up this theme in his after dinner speech, Pienaar imagines what would happen if the public were to vote for MPs by means of a reality TV show.
Client comments: “Excellent anecdotes, extremely engaging and wonderfully sociable – a superb choice.”
