On Thursday 29th September we hosted our Young Achiever Awards 2016 at The Towers Hotel & Spa, Jersey Marine. During this event we recognised and rewarded special young people in our community that truly make a difference through business, training, education, the arts or voluntary work.
After receiving many nominations the judges certainly had their work cut out deciding on finalists and also a winner for each category.
