There is just one day left to enter the Press and Journal’s 2016 Gold Awards.
Now in its second year, the event marks the contribution companies and individuals are making to the North Sea.
The Gold Awards – in association with Aberdeen Asset Management – celebrate the region’s resilience and fortitude, even in the challenging climate.
The awards will be presented a ceremony at The Marcliffe on September 8, and the deadline for nominations is tomorrow.
There are seven categories, as well as a special award for the Gold Awards Hall of Fame decided by judging panel of well-known business leaders, including Martin Gilbert, chief executive of Aberdeen Asset Management; Rita Marcella, dean of Aberdeen Business School at the Robert Gordon University; Malcolm Webb, former head of Oil and Gas UK.
Large company of the year (more than 200 employees)
The Gold Awards recognise resilience in both peaks in troughs. This award recognises the best large company, its commitment to people, its culture, the North Sea and the Aberdeen community.
Small company of the year (less than 200 employees)
This award recognises the best small company, its commitment to people, its culture, the North Sea and the Aberdeen community.
Best employer
A company’s best asset is its people. This category recognises the firm that best demonstrates its commitment to its people and dedication to creating a standout company culture. It’s open to companies of all shapes and sizes.
Innovation award
Technology has helped the north bust through barriers and position itself as a global pioneer. The winning entrant will demonstrate the step-change their technology provides.
Emerging industry leader
As the North Sea embarks on its next chapter it will need young energy leaders to pave the way forward. This award is open to outstanding young energy leaders, who deserve to be recognised for their appetite for continued learning, mentoring and influence. Applicants must be 35 or younger on the closing date of the award application.
New energy award
As well as oil and gas, Aberdeen is also a thriving hub for renewable firms. The Gold Awards is proud to introduce a category dedicated to recognising renewable achievements. This category looks to recognise the best project or innovation from the sector, including offshore and onshore wind, wave, tidal and solar.
Entrepreneur award
The view of entrepreneurship as a being leading source of innovation, job creation and global economic growth is crucial. By challenging conventional methods and creating new markets, entrepreneurs are certainly disrupting the way we do business and enhancing our quality of life. This Gold Award will be presented to an entrepreneur who has not necessarily created something brand new, but who has thought outside of the box to diversify a business or product to new markets for long term sustainability.
