Winners of 'thebestof Guernsey's' 14 Days of Love campaign gathered at Guernsey’s ‘Most Loved’ business, Avant Garden’s shop at L’Islet last month to celebrate their success.
The campaign is run annually in the first two weeks of February and aims to seek out the 'most loved' businesses both locally and nationally by inviting islanders to give reviews in support of Guernsey companies.
After a welcome glass of fizz from Avant Garden owner, Nick Martel and a browse around his beautifully stocked shop, the top 10 companies in Guernsey and the top five in their category nationally were all presented with certificates and trophies.
Winners spanned all business sectors as local companies had the opportunity to compete in their category nationally with Guernsey achieving nine first place winners including;
Most Loved Gift & Furniture shop - Avant Garden
Dance Classes - Debbie Duport Dancing
Balloon Specialists - Bonboniera
Patisserie - Boulangerie Victor Hugo
Loan Company - Close Finance
CCTV Specialist - Vision Networks
Lingerie - Body & Sole
Healthcare Services - Queens Road Medical Practice
Valeting Services - Pro Clean Mobile Valeting
The entrepreneurial spirit is very strong in Guernsey and these awards have done what they are designed to do – shine the light on small local businesses that are passionate about providing a wide choice of products and services to islanders and demonstrate just how much they are valued by their customers.
