IoD Jersey Chair, Natasha Egré, said: “The Director of the Year Awards are one of the highlights of the business calendar in Jersey, allowing us to celebrate the best of those who lead our organisations across industries, the third sector, and in the public sector.

“I encourage everyone to take some time to think about leaders who have really made a difference over the past year. If you know someone who has led with resilience, authenticity, and innovation, then it’s essential that you nominate them and ensure they get the recognition they deserve.”

A shortlist will be announced in August, ahead of the Gala awards dinner.
