Sally Foard from Cornwall College Business said: “We’ve been very impressed with the number of entries to this year’s awards,” I’d like to thank all the companies from across the South West who took the time to submit nominations. We would also like to thank our judges who had a tough decision, as everyone who applied deserves recognition for their commitment to training.”
The finalists were chosen by a panel of judges made up of some of the region’s most experienced business professionals.
Mark Peters from Pirate FM said: “As ever the quality of applications is very high, with tremendous progress and development being shown in each and every application. Judging of these awards remains one of the toughest gigs in Cornwall so regardless of being a nominee or a winner everyone should be proud of the achievements they have made to get this far.”
Kerry Dunkley from City & Guilds added: “It was not an easy decision; I have to say there was a very high calibre of nominations.”
The awards evening is always well attended by business leaders and managers from across the South West. It is also a great opportunity to celebrate excellence in training while being entertained and enjoying a delicious three course meal; and it is always a great networking occasion.
