TV’s Shappi Khorsandi To Present Isle Of Wight Chamber Business Awards

Comedian and TV star Shappi Khorsandi is to host this year's Isle of Wight Chamber Business Awards.

The Chamber’s flagship event takes place at Cowes Yacht Haven on Friday May 12.

“I love the Isle of Wight - it’s one of my favourite places in the world and I love spending time here,” Shappi says.

“I’m really excited to be your host for the night and I’m looking forward to celebrating with all of the winners and nominees on this prestigious evening.

We’ll have some laughs and we’ll give out some lovely looking trophies. See you there!”

Shappi Khorsandi is a comedian, author and speaker whose career has taken her to all corners of the globe.

She has appeared on a multitude of radio and TV shows, as well as her own show, Shaparak Talk.

Entries have closed for this year’s Business Awards, which is supported once again by WightFibre.

The independent judging panel is currently working hard to assess this year’s bumper crop of submissions.

A shortlist will be announced at the end of March.

IW Chamber Chief Executive Steven Holbrook said:

“We’re incredibly excited about this year’s event and I’m delighted to be able to welcome a star of Shappi’s calibre as our host.

"Every year we work hard to re-imagine the event and raise the bar — this year will be our biggest yet.

“I can’t thank our headline sponsor enough for their support, as ever. We wouldn’t be able to stage our awards at such a high level without WightFibre's backing.”

The shortlist for the IW Chamber Business Awards 2023 will be published at the end of this month, when tickets go on-sale for the event.
