The finalists have been announced for the Excellence in Business Training Awards 2015, hosted by Cornwall College Business.
Now in their eighth year, the awards recognise businesses and individuals who “demonstrate commitment and dedication to training across the south west”.
Sally Foard from Cornwall College Business said: “We’ve been very impressed with the number of entries to this year’s awards.
“I’d like to thank all the companies from across the South West who took the time to submit nominations. We would also like to thank our judges who had a tough decision, as everyone who applied deserves recognition for their commitment to training.”
The winners of the ten categories will be announced at an awards ceremony on January 30, at The Atlantic Hotel in Newquay. You can purchase tickets for £60 each by calling 0800 731 7594 or by emailing enquiries@ccb.cornwall.ac.uk.
