Paul Smith, Chair of the Institute’s Guernsey Branch, commented: “This year we are particularly proud of the achievements of members who have shown great fortitude and pragmatism in the face of extremely challenging circumstances.
"Covid-19 has had a huge impact on business and the world of work, not to mention on people’s lives. The amount of work our members have had to do to ensure good governance practices have been maintained while businesses adapt to the ‘new normal’ has increased substantially.
"Our winners’ commitment to maintaining the highest standards of governance in extraordinary circumstances has reinforced the benefit that good governance brings to companies and the economy and has shown the added value that governance professionals bring to any business."
