Online retailer Mainmann Group has collected this year’s top accolade at the Jersey Business Awards for Enterprise.
The company, which sells Melissa and Mel jelly shoes online and locally, received the Award for Enterprise Excellence and was also named Small and Medium Enterprise of the Year.
Les Amis was awarded the Not for Profit Organisation of the Year and Rupert Langly-Smith, founder of Proviz, the high visibility clothing brand, collected the Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the only category that is awarded to an individual.
The gala evening at the Royal Jersey Showground, which marked the end of Enterprise Week, was attended by a capacity audience of business leaders. It was the culmination of a week of debate and discussion on the future of enterprise in Jersey. Over 1,200 people participated in nine events during the week focusing on the impact of global megatrends and the opportunities they present for Jersey.
Graeme Smith, Chief Executive of Jersey Business said: “The gala evening has been a fantastic celebration of the high calibre of businesses that are operating in Jersey. The Awards continue to showcase the impressive and at times relatively unknown businesses that operate from our island proving that Jersey is a place where entrepreneurial talent, good business acumen, hard work and determination can create business success. The quality of the entries this year has been extremely high and the judges found it particularly difficult to select their winners so all of the finalists are to be commended. The Jersey Business Awards for Enterprise are the showcase for enterprise excellence in Jersey and we are looking forward to developing the event and Enterprise Week in years to come”.
