We’re proud to announce our sponsorship of the Guernsey Hospitality Association’s Top Team Award at this year’s People’s Awards.

It’s one of a host of honours which recognise and celebrate the best professionals from the island’s hospitality industry.

The Top Team award aligns closely with our own values – combining talents, fostering teamwork and consistently achieving our business objectives so it made perfect sense to offer our support.

It’s a great way to reward those who go above and beyond in creating outstanding experiences for their customers, leading by example in an industry which plays such a vital role in the success of the Channel Islands.

GHA President, Alan Sillett admits the last five years have been challenging for the industry and the awards are a chance to celebrate the talented individuals at the heart of Guernsey’s bustling hospitality scene.

“Close Finance’s support has been crucial and we greatly appreciate the relationship”, he said. “In the Bailiwick of Guernsey our members have proven to be innovative and resilient when it comes to striving for continual improvement in our offering. This event will shine a light on, and honour, the unsung heroes who consistently demonstrate dedication and passion for our industry”.

Guernsey’s Head of Lending, Richard Elliott said he’s thrilled to be supporting the award and is inspired by the hospitality businesses and venues that continually raise the bar.

“I’m looking forward to celebrating these outstanding teams and the impact they make in the hospitality industry across Guernsey”, he said.

The winner of the Top Team, and a host of other People’s Choice awards, will be announced at the awards ceremony on Tuesday 18 March.
