Guernsey Awards for Achievement gets ready to celebrate business success
Preparation for the largest event in Guernsey’s business calendar will get underway early this week. The annual Guernsey Awards for Achievement will take place on Thursday evening, where around 800 guests including dignitaries and the island’s top business men and women will gather to celebrate those who have excelled during 2011.
From Tuesday morning a host of local suppliers will be hard at work transforming the Sir John Loveridge Hall at Beau Sejour into a stunning gala evening, where seven trophies will be presented to those businesses and individuals which have had an outstanding year.
The two and a half day build will be overseen by the organisers of the Awards, The Guernsey Event Company and is the culmination of almost a year’s work in planning. They will be joined by other local companies including Joy’s, Sueco, Regency Events, Tussie Mussie and Eventure, each using their specific skills to ensure the Awards evening is one of the most prestigious in Guernsey.
Judging for the main business awards is still taking place, with the full list of winners not even known to the organisers until the day before the event.
A full afternoon of rehearsals will take place on Thursday afternoon before the evening begins with a champagne reception, sponsored by Rothschild. Internationally renowned architect Robert Adam is being brought over by the Garenne Group to be this year’s keynote speaker and following a three-course meal, the seven trophies will then be awarded.
