IoD Jersey Chair, Natasha Egré, said: “The Director of the Year Awards are one of the highlights of the business calendar in Jersey, allowing us to celebrate the best of those who lead our organisations across industries, the third sector, and in the public sector. I encourage everyone to take some time to think about leaders who have really made a difference over the past year. If you know someone who has led with resilience, authenticity, and innovation, then it’s essential that you nominate them and ensure they get the recognition they deserve.”
Chair of the judges will again be Kevin Keen (Former CEO, Jersey Post, non-exec Chairman at Jersey Water, CEO JSPCA, non-exec Visit Jersey and Co-founder Leadership Jersey). Following the independent and confidential judging process, a shortlist will be announced in August, ahead of the Gala awards dinner on October 19th.
James Gaudin, Manager Partner, Appleby Jersey said: “Appleby is about to enter our twelfth year as Gold Sponsor of the IoD Director of the Year Awards, which demonstrates our commitment to the IoD and Jersey’s leadership community. We are a business focused on nurturing and developing talented leaders and we recognise the inherent value of these awards to Jersey businesses. This sponsorship and our partnership with the IoD is incredibly important to our firm.”
