South West Global Growth Award Winners Revealed

The winners of the South West Global Growth awards for 2020 have been revealed at a special Insider online forum.

Insider's South West Global Growth Online Forum, sponsored by Burges Salmon and HSBC UK, included a panel and audience discussion examining the opportunities and challenges for international trade in the year ahead as the world continues to tackle the pandemic and approaches the end of the Brexit transition period.

The event heard from a range of speakers, including Miles Dunkley, of SLG Brands, Amanda Stansfield, of Granny Gothards, Helena Hills of Truestart Coffee, Rupert Weston of Burges Salmon and James Shepherd of HSBC. To watch the discussion back in full, click here.

The event was also an opportunity for Insider to reveal the winners of this year’s South West Global Growth awards. The traditional black tie dinner couldn’t be held this year as a result of on-going Covid restrictions.

The event revealed this year’s International Ambassador of the Year as Mark Callaghan of British Corner Shop.
