Over 80 nominations were received for this year's Family Friendly Employer of the Year Awards.  That equated to 49 employers who you thought were family friendly.

These Awards recognise the good work that many employers in Jersey are doing to ensure that parents are able to balance their work with their family's needs.

We sent out a nomination form to as many children in Jersey as possible, through primary schools and childcare settings.

The judging took place in September and it was after much deliberation the winners were finally chosen.

It was decided to have three categories this year with employee numbers ranging from 7 to 1,000+.

The winners were:-

From left back row: Laurie MacKenzie (Acting Executive Director of the JCCT) and Colin Powell CBE, (Chairman); front row: Winners - Allison Soulsby, (Jersey Heritage), Robert Sharp, (Herald Group), Michelle Clark (Allied Trust) and Liz Mayo (Durrell)
