"We are delighted to showcase and reward the absolute best in Caribbean industry," said Derrick Sutherland, co-founder of the Caribbean Business Awards. "From young to more seasoned individuals, from small to large teams, from new start-ups to established organisations, all winners in the Caribbean Business Awards have a compelling success story.

Becoming a winner of the Caribbean Business Awards is no mean feat - many congratulations to all winners for their outstanding collective contribution to the Caribbean region and their individual achievements."

The Caribbean Business Awards has distinguished itself by its robust judging process, with experienced business professionals participating as judges, and the quality of businesses taking part in the programme.

Carol Ayoung – CEO of the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce: “The Caribbean’s importance to the international economy is often unappreciated, despite continued growth even in tough times. Our region suffers when we fail to recognize that every business and individual efforts contributes to a greater whole. The Caribbean Business Awards are the ideal vehicle to change the perception that the Caribbean is just a great place for tourism. We’re also a great place to do business.”

Other winners of the Caribbean Business Awards 2011 were:
