Prestigious Director of the Year Awards now open

Directors in Gloucestershire are being urged to enter one of the top awards schemes recognising excellence and enterprise.

The Institute of Directors' Director of the Year Awards 2021 seek to recognise outstanding leaders and entrepreneurs in both the public and private sector.

Award nominations are open to anyone working at director level in any type of business or organisation- they don't have to be an IoD member.

This year the South West region is teaming up with London and the South, meaning there will be even keener competition for the awards.

There are 13 categories which include Large Business, Small to Medium Business (SME), Family Business, Start-Up, Public/Third Sector, International, Innovation, Young, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability and Non-Executive.

There is also a special category - Agility & Resilience - that recognises individuals who responded proactively and positively to the pandemic.

IoD South West chair Muir Macdonald said: "We didn't run the awards in the South West ast year because of the pandemic, so we are hoping for a really great response to the 2021 awards.

"After such a tough 18 months for many of us, this is a time now to celebrate the hard work and innovation that has gone into keeping afloat during the pandemic and beyond. We have seen so many great examples of innovation, agility and resilience in the region that we want it to be recognised and celebrated. I think we all know someone who has risen to the challenge - or perhaps you want to nominate yourself. "

Winners in 2019 included Charmaine Vincent, CEO of Baltimore Consulting, who went on to win the national award in the SME category and James Freeman, former MD of First West of England who was highly commended at the national awards in the Large Company category.

The deadline for entries is September 13, and the winners will be announced at an event on November 11.
