Top North West Directors urged to "Get Your Nominations In'
23 May 2007 – A North West businessman who is nearing the end of his reign as North West Director of the Year has put a call out to all business professionals: if you haven’t already nominated anyone, or even yourself, now is your chance.
All you need to do is go to the awards web site at www.armstrongcraven.com/iod/northwest and add your nominee’s name, job title, company, phone number and email address together with the category for which you are recommending them. The Institute of Directors then contacts the nominee for more information.
Last year’s winner of the IoD’s North West Director of the Year Award 2006, and Cumbria Director of the Year was Andrew Tinkler, Managing Director of W A Development International Ltd and chairman of Eddie Stobart Ltd.
The award categories are Director of the Year and Young Director of the Year (under 40) for each of the IoD Branch areas of Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Liverpool and Manchester. There is also an overall IoD North West Director of the Year and the Chairman’s Special Award for Services to North West Business. Newer awards are The Rising Star Award (under 20) and the International Business Director of the Year Award.
The deadline for nominations is June 8 – and nominees do not have to be members of the Institute of Directors to be considered.
The glittering September 20 awards ceremony, to be held at the City of Manchester Stadium, will be hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald OBE. The awards, sponsored by Yorkshire Bank, will be judged by the cream of North West.
