Teresa Le Couteur, winner of last year’s Company Secretary of the Year award and the current chair of the Institute’s Guernsey branch says:
“The Awards are the highlight of the governance calendar for the many governance professionals, company secretaries and trust administrators who are working or studying in Guernsey. They are the focal point of our annual branch dinner at which we celebrate the achievements of our members and students and as a previous winner I know just how gratifying it can be to have your efforts recognised in the presence of your peers. The past year has shown just how vital good governance is to business stability and I look forward to being able to celebrate those governance gurus who have done so much to keep things on an even keel during the pandemic.”
