Here are 2019's NJBIZ Business of the Year finalists.

Byline: Jessica Perry

Film has its Oscars, music the Grammys. Here in the Garden State, we close out the year, and our awards season, with the Business of the Year Awards, recognizing companies and their leaders who are striving for excellence, growing and contributing to the New Jersey business community.

This year, Business of the Year finalists will be recognized, and winners announced, during an evening reception and awards ceremony on Dec. 10 at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset.

Awards will be handed out in six categories, including for Executive of the Year, which in 2019 will honor Bleakley Financial Group Principal Andy Schwartz, The Rock Brook Consulting Group Principal and Executive Vice President Michael Wachter, and Selective Insurance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Murphy.

You can register to celebrate this year's finalists, and see the rest of the winners named, on our Events page, here.
