The Cayman Observer, the 1st weekly business newspaper published in the Cayman Islands, is launching its 2nd annual Business Awards. The Cayman Observer Business Awards aims to recognise excellence in business.
This year, the Cayman Observer is recognising the contributions of 2 persons who have been of great help to the growth and prosperity of Cayman. The award winners will be announced in a special section of the newspaper on February 21, 2008.
Paul Byles, publisher of the Cayman Observer, explained that the Cayman Observer Business Awards honours a lifetime commitment to the jurisdiction and a dedication to promoting the greater good of the community of the Cayman Islands.
For the inaugural business pioneer awards, presented on January 31, 2007, the newspaper honoured the following persons: Robert Hamaty, Norberg Thompson, Maxine and Maureen Bodden, Arthur Hunter, Billie Lee Watson, Bob Soto, Naul Bodden, David Foster, William Stuart Walker and Rhoda Erena Ebanks. They represented various sectors – law, commerce, accountancy, real estate, manufacturing, tourism and aviation.
Mr. Byles said that the interest generated by the 2007 awards was great, so, the public is invited to submit nominations for 2008 pioneers which will be accepted until January 24, 2008.
