NEARLY 800 people are due to attend tomorrow evening’s Awards for Achievement event at Beau Sejour.

Preparations for the awards event are being finalised, with local companies Betley Whitehorne, Joy’s, Tussie Mussie and Sueco to the fore, under the direction of The Guernsey Event Company.

The premier trophy, the Commerce and Employment Guernsey Business of the Year, remains alongside the two individual awards – Specsavers Unsung Hero and Guiton Group Ambassador of the Year.
