FIRMS across the area are in the spotlight once again, with the launch of the Johnston Press South Business Awards.
Formerly the Southern Business Awards, the awards celebrate the best in business across the south, bringing together winners from Johnston Press titles’ own award winners.
Winners from awards run by The News in Portsmouth, the Worthing Herald series, the Chichester Observer series and Littlehampton Gazette, and the Eastbourne Herald are already shortlisted, and will be joined by those from the Hastings Observer series’ 1066 Business Awards and West Sussex County Times’ Business Matters awards.
JSPC Computer Services are the awards’ headline sponsor for the second year running.
The company works with businesses across the south, delivering a broad range of IT services to meet the needs of both small and large corporate clients.
JSPC handles day-to-day maintenance and provides technical support to ensure efficient IT systems are in place.
Founded in 2002, the company has grown in size and reputation. Husband-and-wife team James and Shelley Stoner have grown the business, which serves clients across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. They encourage teamwork, innovation in the workplace and forward thinking.
Managing director James said: “We are sponsoring the Johnston Press South Awards to highlight our support for business growth and development across the south. It’s the fourth year of the awards and the event has become an important date on every business calendar. All winners from the regional business awards will automatically become finalists in these awards, so it’s a really special occasion.
The most successful businesses in the south will be showcasing their work so it provides us all with an opportunity to learn from the very best. Developing a business isn’t an easy task and making it a long-term success is even harder. This is why we have also decided to sponsor the Lifetime Achievement Award, and judges will be shortlisting candidates over the coming months. This award will go to an inspirational person who has achieved great things in business. We look forward to attending the awards ceremony in September, and celebrating with all the finalists.”
