Nescot won “Employer of the Year’ at the Surrey Business Awards last night (07 November), against some stiff competition.
The team were looking forward to the awards after hearing the announcement of the finalists last month and attended the event at G Live in Guildford with fingers crossed for a trophy.
As the largest event of its kind and the most prestigious in the county, the Surrey Business Awards has a distinguished panel of judges, consisting of industry experts and influential business leaders to choose the winners.
Julie Kapsalis, CEO and Principal at Nescot said “We’re over the moon to win the ‘Employer of the Year’ award. Nescot is a unique and special place to work and our investment in staff wellbeing and professional development is a key priority. We have an incredible community of dedicated staff who share our vision and work tirelessly, for both our students and our staff. This award is for them.”
Julie was also recognised personally last night with a nomination for ‘Businessperson of the Year’ as a result of her work both within the college and externally.
As well as her role at Nescot, she has been Chair of the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for the last four years and on the Board for over a decade. For the past three years she also served as Chair of Catalyst South - a group of six LEPs covering the South East as a direct voice to Government. Julie is also a director, trustee, advisor and mentor and already has awards under her belt for inspirational leadership, corporate social responsibility and being a community hero.
In addition to its nominations, Nescot was also a proud sponsor of the ‘Future Talent of the Year’ award at the event, which was attended by business leaders and guests from across Surrey.
