JUDGING COMMENCES
With a record number of nominations and entries received, all eyes now turn towards the Judging Panel as they are about to commence their unenviable tasks of identifying the Finalists in each of the award categories.
Although the Panel do not actually meet until Thursday 21st January 2010, their work will start soon after the Christmas and New Year break - as they commence their considerable task of reading through all the short-listed entries.
Initial reactions indicate that the high quality of entries (received over the past three years) has been easily maintained and perhaps even, in some cases, exceeded. To recognise this and the substantially increased number of entries, we have decided to make four awards for Director of the Year and two for International Director of the Year – as well as retaining the New Business Director of the Year Award and the Chairman’s Award.
The Awards list now looks like:
Director of the Year Awards:
Award - A turnover of up £4.99M
Award - A turnover of £5M to £24.99M
Award - A turnover of £25M to £99.99M
Award - A turnover of over £100M
International Director of the Year Awards:
Award - A turnover of up £4.99M
Award - A turnover of over £5M
New Business Director of the Year Award
Chairman’s Award(s)
