The 2022 IoD Jersey Director of the Year Awards shortlist has been announced, ahead of the sold-out black-tie awards ceremony on November 24th.
The evening will be hosted by comedian and impressionist, Jon Culshaw (pictured), who is best known for his work on radio comedy, Dead Ringers, as well as numerous TV appearances.
The Awards, sponsored by Appleby Jersey, are an opportunity to recognise the directors of organisations small and large, who are helping to lead their teams through the current difficult economic climate, and to also celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and young directors.
The judges were: Kevin Keen, Heather MacCallum, Dan Hare, Helen Hatton, Kate Wright, Kate Nutt, and Chris Ambler.
Chair of the Judges, Kevin Keen said: “The judging panel are privileged to have been able to read through and consider the tremendous variety and talent evidenced in the nominations. It’s always a difficult task to whittle those down to just three names, but we are now looking forward to celebrating the best of the best and announcing the winners at the gala dinner in November. Huge congratulations to everyone who was nominated, and in particular to our shortlisted candidates who once again prove that Jersey has a wealth of talented leaders at the helm of our organisations.”
