¹Due to a technical error, Redington's entry for this year's award was not received in the initial round of judging. When the error was identified, the judges took the extraordinary step of a second round of judging, evaluating this entry against the original candidates. There was a consensus decision to add Redington to the shortlist, which was then expanded to four companies.
