Islanders were first asked to nominate a small local business that they believed should be celebrated – and why – before those with the most nominations were short-listed for a final vote.
More than 2,000 people in each island participated in the voting process, with Acorn Enterprises and Forest Stores being selected as the people’s favourite small brands in Jersey and Guernsey respectively.
