The Institute of Directors (IoD) North West has announced its finalists from the Liverpool region for their prestigious Director of the Year Awards 2010.
Following an intensive judging process, the finalists, shown below, were narrowed down from 160 entries from directors across the North West region, following an in-depth interview process led by Armstrong Craven.
Darrell Matthews, Regional Director of the IoD in the North West, commented: “The judging panel was extremely impressed by the high number of outstanding directors who were nominated in 2010 following another difficult year for business, and I believe this list of nominees is a prime example of what Liverpool has to offer.”

Ann Jordan, Regional Chair of the IoD and in charge of the judging panel, commented: "Business directors need to act decisively in an uncertain economy to help steer their businesses and employees through tough times, or on to new opportunities, and we looked for these attributes during the judging process.
"As a result, we have a phenomenally high-calibre of finalists in this year’s awards, and I look forward to seeing the final results at the awards dinner in October."
This year’s winners will be announced on 7th October at the Hilton Hotel Deansgate, with the awards ceremony being hosted by BBC TV’s Nicholas Owen.
