Steve Parfett, chairman of AG Parfett & Sons, has won director of the year for a large company at the 2013 Institute of Directors (IOD) North West Awards. Parfett, who was one of four finalists in his category, now goes on to be entered into the national awards, which will be held in London on 11 October.
Parfett said: “I’m both proud and very humbled to have won this prestigious award. Judges said that a significant factor was the engagement we achieve with our employees, which is exactly what we have been aspiring to achieve since our transition to employee ownership in 2008.”
