A DIRECTOR with Keighley social housing group Incommunities has been shortlisted for a coveted regional honour.

Delroy Beverley is among the finalists in the prestigious Institute of Directors Awards.

He is up for an accolade in the Not for Profit/CSR Director of the Year category.

Mr Beverley is responsible for delivering Incommunities' multi-million pound regeneration and construction programme and oversees its highly-acclaimed apprenticeship scheme.

He is also chairman of the Bradford University School of Management international advisory board and sits on a number of national bodies.

"I am humbled and delighted in equal measure to be considered for such a highly coveted professional award," he said.

"As always, the shortlist for this year reflects the diversity, diligence and dedication of the region's very best business leaders."

Winners, to be announced at a ceremony in Sheffield on June 11, will go forward to national finals later this year.
