Small Medium Enterprise of the Year Awards 2011
Collins Stewart Wealth Management is sponsoring the Small Medium Enterprise of the Year Award at this year’s Isle of Man Newspapers’ Awards for Excellence.
Dermot Hamill, head of wealth management Isle of Man, said that the company was delighted to be once more involved with the awards.
‘We’ve been sponsors of the awards right from the outset and we’re very happy to support the event,’ he said.
‘I think it’s great because it shows a lot of what’s very good about the Isle of Man, and shows the island in a very positive light.
‘It also brings a lot of attention to people who wouldn’t ordinarily get that attention and it’s just very nice to be involved – there’s real “feel-good” factor.
‘This year we are sponsoring the Small Medium Enterprise of the Year Award and it will be very interesting to see what the entries are. It will be nice to present the award to a business which is dynamic and outgoing.’
Last year’s winner of the Small Medium Enterprise Award was Green Mann Spring Water.
Shane Martin who collected the award on behalf of the family company said:
‘It helped us from a sales point of view because it was very reassuring for people to see that we had achieved this at such an early stage in the business.
‘The process of entering also made us realise what we’d achieved. When you’re so busy all the time, you don’t really forget, but when you sit down to fill in the entry forms, it does really bring it to light when you have to put it down on paper.’
