Quality and experience really do matter and Shorts are again proud sponsors of the Sheffield Business Person of the year award.  This award recognises the significant contribution made towards the success of an individual’s business; evidencing their initiative, achievement, and entrepreneurial talents.   The winner will stand out from the crowd, having clearly demonstrated their exceptional performance both within the organisation they represent and the wider business community.

Looking overall through the companies and individuals shortlisted for this years’ Sheffield Business awards, it is clear that the Sheffield region boasts an impressive blend of strength, quality and experience within the local business community. Year after year, these awards reveal winners of exceptional measure and the calibre of this year’s shortlists promise that 2015 will be no exception to the rule.

The strength of the region’s business leaders provide a solid platform for a positive future.  In my view we are extremely fortunate in this area to boast such a rich blend of industry and commerce but ultimately it is the passion, vison and quality of our business leaders which will determine how the region performs over the longer term.

The importance of people is no different within the accountancy profession.  Quality and experience really do make a difference to the standard of advice and service you can expect to receive from your accountants.  That’s why at Shorts, we continue to invest in all levels of our team; with a significant number of our partners and directors having worked at senior levels within national and international firms.   Shorts’ quality is best demonstrated through the experience and qualifications within our Partner group:
