Posted: 12/02/2016A spectacular gala event held last night at Beau Sejours in St Peter Port, saw the winners revealed in the Guernsey Awards for Achievement 2015.
A 700-strong audience, comprising local dignitaries and the island's top businessmen and women, gathered together to see awards handed out in eight categories.
There were 22 shortlisted companies in the six business categories, the biggest overall shortlist in the history of the Awards. The winners in those categories were:
Skipton International – Commerce and Employment Business of the Year 2015
Karting Guernsey – NatWest Best Small Business Award
Aon Insurance Managers (Guernsey) – BWCI Innovation Award
States of Guernsey’s ‘Your Views Matter’ campaign – Excellence in Marketing Award
1st CENTRAL – Condor Ferries Employer of the Year Award
DLM Architects – Investec Sustainability Award
Two additional awards were also given out on the evening. These saw tennis superstar Heather Watson pick up the award for Guernsey Press Ambassador of the Year; and Keith and Karen Robins scoop the Specsavers Unsung Hero Award for their work in fostering children.
It was a particularly special night for the event itself, which was celebrating its 30th anniversary.
