Entries are in for the 2016 Bill Green Award for Entrepreneurial Spirit, and the judges have announced a shortlist of three companies.
CT Plus Guernsey Limited, Donkeylogic Limited and Dorfmeister Studios impressed the judging panel, comprised of members of Startup Guernsey, the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce and the Young Business Group ('YBG').
YBG president Lindsey Dean said: "The judges received a number of entries this year and it never fails to amaze us the diversity of the business sectors that have entered the award.
"The entries for the shortlisted companies were of a high quality and it was clear to the judges that they demonstrated the ethos of the Bill Green Award. The people behind each company are passionate about their business and the judges are looking forward to meeting them and hearing more at the final presentations towards the end of the month. We wish them all the very best for the next stage."
The shortlisted candidates will now be invited to an informal interview with members of the judging panel on Wednesday 27th April, where they will do a brief presentation and answer questions. The winner will be announced on Friday 17th June at the annual YBG Summer Ball which is sponsored by Saffery Champness.
