Insight Data scoops another business award

Insight Data, winners of the 2009 Business of the Year Awards, picked up another award on Saturday 8th October 2011 at the Sian Lloyd Jones Business Awards, presented by Santander Bank.

“Given the caliber of the entrants we were surprised to be nominated and make the finals. So I was really shocked when we were announced as one of the winners” said Commercial Director Helen Costeloe-Hughes. The Business Award was presented to Insight Data in recognition of job creation, training and development.

“We would have loved to have picked up the outright Business of the Year again as we did in 2009, but this was awarded to McDonalds Restaurants. However our award was particularly well received as it demonstrated our commitment to training and development of our team, and it was great to have 15 of our staff with us at the awards” added Helen.

The Business Awards were held at the function suite at the prestigious Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare, which re-opened in 2010 after a fire destroyed the original building. The Pier has seen a £52m investment to rebuild which included a range of corporate hospitality and event facilities, with stunning views of the coastline.

Helen concludes; “It was a superb night combining the Business Awards with a Charity Ball and auction, with donations made by a number of high profile people and businesses, including John Penrose MP and Virgin Active, which recently acquired the Esporta chain of health clubs.
