The shortlist for the award is: Christine Anderson, of UBC Flexible Offices; Paul Michael, of Coventry Building Society Arena; Rachel Ollerenshaw, of Mollys Ollys; Kevin Johns, of Prime Accountants Group; Yvette Greenway Mansfield, of SOS Silence of Suicide; and Ian O'Connor, of Eskuta.
The announcement of the individual shortlist follows on from the recent reveal of around 50 businesses and community organisations who are in the running for nine other awards, which have been developed by Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, after more than 200 entries were submitted.
Tickets are now available for the Awards Celebration Evening which will feature much more than a series of award presentations, with arrival drinks, bowl food and snack bags on offer as well as a show – co-created with the Belgrade Theatre – to highlight some of the amazing local talent from across the region.
Tickets for the event will be priced at £45.00 (shortlisted organisations will receive two complementary tickets) with a discounted ticket price for charity and community groups.
Corin Crane, chief executive of Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “We are delighted to reveal the shortlist for our Inspirational Individual Award. Coventry and Warwickshire is home to so many incredible individuals who drive forward our economy and have a positive impact on our communities.
“Our shortlist really does reflect that, and it is going to be incredibly difficult to single out one winner on the night!
“It promises to be a fantastic evening – we set ourselves the bold ambition of putting on a brand-new awards event but wanted to make it different to anything that has been done before.
“It is all coming together very nicely and I’d urge everyone to snap up their tickets as soon as possible to make sure they secure their place on the night.”
