BRIANA GANT OF MANATEE HOLDINGS LTD. WINS GOLD STEVIE® AWARD IN 2018 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS®

Winners to Be Celebrated at Gala Event on 20 October in London, England

Courtenay, BC - 14 August, 2018 - Briana Gant of Manatee Holdings Ltd. was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Maverick of the Year category in the 15th Annual International Business Awards® today.

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - are eligible to submit nominations. The 2018 IBAs received entries from 74 nations and territories.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala awards banquet at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel in London, England on 20 October. 

More than 3,900 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others.  Briana Gant of Manatee Holdings Ltd. won in the Maverick of the Year category for the aquaculture and fishing industries.

Briana Gant came to work for Manatee Holdings Ltd from a background as a paramedic and member of the Whitewater Ski Resort Rescue Team.  Last fishing season, Briana was the only female diver working in the urchin and sea cucumber fisheries on the West Coast of Canada.  This work demands a highly trained, experienced, warrior mentality, well grounded in the reality of the ocean’s surroundings, just to survive, let alone to do well.  Here are some of the judges’ comments: “A true maverick in a very positive sense” “Very courageous, unique in every way, very few can achieve what Briana has achieved.  Well done!”  “Dealing with the dangers to create such a marvelous ecological output.  Incredibly good!” 

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 270 judges worldwide who participated on 12 panels.

“This year’s Stevie Award winners in the IBAs are the most distinguished group of winners we’ve had yet,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “We raised the minimum average score from the judges required to qualify as a Stevie winner, so 2018 winners should be especially proud of their achievements.  We look forward to presenting their Stevies to them in London on October 20, and to telling "their stories over the coming year through Stevie Awards media.”
