Devon businesses shine through as the finalists have been announced for the Excellence in Business Training Awards 2014 hosted by CCB.
Supported by Silicon Valley Bank, media support by Devon & Cornwall Media and Pirate FM, the awards has unveiled the list of finalists featuring some of the region’s leading businesses, including Cosmic, BD, Mill Hill Quarries and Interserve Construction.
The winners of the ten categories will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony on 24th January 2014.
Now in its seventh year, the awards recognise businesses and individuals who demonstrate commitment and dedication to training across the South West.
Sally Foard, of CCB, says: “We’ve been very impressed with the standard of entries to this year’s awards.
“The judges have had a hard time choosing their winners and I’d like to thank all the companies from across the South West who took the time to submit nominations.”
The finalists were chosen by a panel of judges made up of some of the region’s most experienced business professionals.
The ceremony will take place at The Atlantic Hotel Newquay on Friday 24th January, from 7pm. Anyone wishing to attend can purchase tickets for £60 each by calling 0800 731 7594 or by emailing enquiries@ccb.cornwall.ac.uk.
