From companies in the legal and financial sectors, to those excelling in the hospitality industry, Derby is home to a wide range of professional services.

Many of these businesses are excelling in everything they do and at this year’s DerbyshireLive Business Awards one fantastic company will walk away with the ‘Professional Services Award.’

This award will be presented to a business who has demonstrated their strengths in service excellence, business growth and has showcased an innovative approach to their offering.

Each award has a category sponsor and financial adviser The Alternative Adviser has leant their name to this category.

Offering its clients, the opportunity to learn the ‘truth about money’ the Nottingham based business provide bespoke advice to help people better deal with their finances.

Anthony Clark is the firm’s Managing Director and was quick to point out the reasons behind their sponsorship of this particular category.

“The Alternative Adviser is incredibly proud to be associated with the DerbyshireLive Business Awards for the first time and sponsor the ‘Professional Services Award’ category. We are looking forward to being part of something great that represents Derby’s thriving business community,” he said.  

“I am confident that it’s going to be a fantastic event, not only because we can celebrate the success of others, but also because we have the unique opportunity to connect with fellow business owners who share the common goal of creating a stronger business community.”

As category sponsors it will be down to Anthony to decide on the three shortlisted finalists and eventual winner of the award when the event enters its judging period later in the year.

Anthony explained what he will be looking for from those who are looking to walk away with this award.

“Not only will the winner display a commitment to deliver outstanding service with stellar results for their business, they will also contribute towards making a positive impact within their community,” he said.

“One of the greatest skills in business is to be adaptable to every situation and to remember to celebrate the successes along the way. Life will not always deliver what you want, however being resilient and effective will always get you to where you want to be.”
