Stuart a member of the Causeway Chamber of Commerce is best known as one of the four directors of NI Live Events. Stuart found out on Thursday afternoon that he had made the finals of the prestigious awards.

“This award nomination is of course due to the support and skill of my business partners John Rob and Mervyn, who without I certainly wouldn’t be where I am.”

Causeway Chamber of Commerce is delighted that Stuart has been shortlisted for the 2013 Belfast Telegraph Business Awards and wish him every success.
