IW CHAMBER BUSINESS AWARDS 2022 with WIGHTFIBRE
The Island’s biggest and most prestigious awards have been presented – for the first time since 2019.
Top Mops has been named the Business of the Year, receiving a standing ovation from the capacity crowd at Cowes Yacht Haven tonight (Friday 6th May 2022).
The Outstanding Contribution award went to Alec Dabell, managing director of Vectis Ventures.
With 52 nominations from 39 Island businesses, it was a huge night for the Island’s business community.
“Our winners this year tell an incredible story,” says the IW Chamber Chief Executive Steven Holbrook. “Despite huge challenges for us all in 2021, the Island’s businesses adapted and in many cases thrived. It’s a genuine thrill to be able to present these awards tonight.”
The ceremony was hosted by comic magicians Griffin & Jones and the evening was sponsored by WightFibre.
