Chris Clark, Chair, IoD Jersey, added: “In the current uncertain and often volatile climate, having strong, able leaders at the helm of an organisation is absolutely vital, so it was particularly pleasing to see such a broad cross-section of individuals represented at our Awards this year, both as winners and shortlisted nominees. Their experience and expertise will help stand Jersey in good stead. I would of course like to thank our generous sponsors Appleby, HSBC and Orchid too for helping to make this event such a success yet again.”
