The Winners of the Jersey Enterprise Awards

Monday 1^st March 2010

The Jersey Enterprise Awards are delighted to announce the winners and shortlisted companies and individuals for the nine categories available at tonight’s awards. Senator Alan Maclean, Minister for Economic Development said that the winners and those who were shortlisted in each category had achieved great success against a background of extremely difficult trading conditions. ‘These companies and individuals thoroughly deserve the plaudits of their peers and the recognition they will receive tonight as a result of the awards.’ The winners and shortlists for the nine awards are as follows: Natwest Small Business Award Winner: Cooper & Co. The judges were particularly impressed that the company took key areas such as customer service, staff engagement and shareholder returns seriously. The company does not have the benefit of a marketing department, a human resources team or a finance department and, consequently, these core values come directly from the owner manager David Warr and his senior staff. Shortlisted: Gallery Greenlight Altis Partners Medium Business Award Winner: Acorn Mortgages. The judges felt that Acorn had worked in the best interests of their clients and remained innovative in the face of a tough market environment. Against all the odds, this combination of factors meant that the company produced a profit in an incredibly hard year for its industry-base. Shortlisted: Signtech Direct Input Play.com Large Business Award Winner: Jersey Trust Company The judges were impressed by the entrepreneurship displayed and the creative way the company had approached their place in the trust industry. Jersey Trust showed a serious commitment to their staff by focusing on their development, rewarding success and creating an excellent working environment. Shortlisted: Camerons C5 BPP Professional Education Manager Award Winner: Chris Clark, Director at C5 Alliance The judges felt that Chris displayed the ability to influence and motivate others and provided an environment in which his staff could achieve their goals. The award is presented to the practitioner judged to have excelled in management and Chris’ organisation and commitment to building on high standards in all areas of professional life have made him a leader who can inspire others. Shortlisted: Wendy-Anne Buckley, Business and Projects Manager, Health and Social Services Department Julie Mesny, Head of Education, Learning and Development, Health and Social Services Department Condor Ferries Community Award Winner: Barbara Frost Barbara has spent more than 20 years in voluntary service and has helped many troubled youngsters to become strong and successful adults.

Shortlisted: Janine Borny Le Tournoi JEC Environmental Award Winner: Channel Islands Co-op The company was able to demonstrate an integrated approach to the environment. Their commitment was not seen within the company as an ‘add-on’ but rather as part of a set of values which are embedded into their culture and all aspects of the business. Shortlisted: Jersey Probation and Community Service Ronez Indigo Lighthouse Entrepreneur Award Winner: Bruce Robinson of Larsen Group Bruce Robinson caught the judges’ eye by achieving remarkable success within the extremely competitive development and construction sector.

They have made a unique contribution to the reputation of the Island and will continue to do so wherever they go. Jersey Telecom Overall Business of the Year Award Winner: Acorn Mortgages It was the customer service at the heart of Acorn’s business and the demonstrable growth, despite a recession, which brought the company to the front of the short-listed group. They build on long-term loyalty and good client relationships. The Awards, co-ordinated by Jersey Enterprise, recognise the achievements of local businesses, excellence in management and the contribution individuals and organisations make to Island life.
