Shortlist revealed for 2024 Director of the Year Awards

IoD Isle of Man is delighted to reveal the finalists in this year’s Director of the Year Awards.

The calibre of entrants was exceptional, recognising leadership strength and excellence across the private, public and third sectors of the Island’s business community.
