The finalists have been announced for the Excellence in Business Training Awards 2017, hosted by CCB (Cornwall College Business).
The winners of the ten categories will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony on Friday, January 27. Now in their tenth year the awards recognise businesses and individuals who demonstrate commitment and dedication to training across the south west.
Sally Foard from The Cornwall College Group said: “We’ve been very impressed with the number of entries to this year’s awards; I’d like to thank all the companies from across the South West who took the time to submit nominations.
“We would also like to thank our judges who had a tough decision, as everyone who applied deserves recognition for their commitment to training.”
