“This competition is always extremely tough, and every business announced as a finalist can certainly be proud of their business achievement, particularly in the current economic conditions. The finalists and winners found a way to not just survive, but excel in difficult times,” says Linda Grimbeeck, chief operating officer of the KLCBT.
An extensive adjudication process includes telephonic surveys with clients and suppliers of the business, followed by an evaluation of their financial growth and corporate social investment. There are no personal interviews and no public voting system.
