LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT: Ray CoxThe 16 awards judges come from the widest possible range of backgrounds, encompassing business, the public sector and charitable organisations.Key criteria include being current and also sustainable: the judges are looking for achievements from the last 12 months, rather than things that happened several years ago, but they also want to see that these are not just a flash in the pan but will continue into the future.Following their initial assessment each pair will get together to decide their top choices in each category.
