Judges
In 2008 there will be a panel of 14 judges split into three groups. Each group will judge four awards. The two Chairs of the Chamber in North Lincolnshire (Jacqui Johnson) and North East Lincolnshire (Peter Everett) are joined on the panel by a senior management delegate from each of the 12 Award sponsors. As you will see they represent a wide variety of industry, business and commercial interests throughout the region. Judges receive copies of all the applications in their group well in advance of the judging date to allow them to thoroughly assess the entries.
