Annual awards are open for business
Three new categories have been added to next year’s annual Chamber awards and dinner, which promises to be bigger and better than ever. The new categories are ‘Excellence in
Manufacturing’, ‘Excellence in Sales and Marketing’ and ‘Business of the Year’. The latter will be drawn from the winners of the other seven categories. The new awards will be presented for the first
time at the awards and dinner on 30 March at the ICC, in the heart of the city. ‘Excellence in Manufacturing’ is a nod to the
region’s rich manufacturing heritage, which has its roots in the Industrial Revolution. Although the region is today known for many
commercial activities, including service industries, retailing and tourism, it remains the UK’s industrial heartland, hence the new award. There are also awards for People
Development, Customer Service, Sales and Marketing, International Business, Contribution to Community, Manufacturing, Retail and Business of the Year.
Nominations for the awards are being invited
now, and businesses can enter up to two categories. Entrants need to complete an entry form for each category entered. The closing date for entries is 5pm on Friday 20 January 2017. Details of the full rules for the awards will be included on the entry form. The judges will create a short-list for each category, with the winners being announced at the dinner. The event is the largest cross-business sector
dinner and awards event in the region, and there will be a number of sponsorship opportunities for those interested in raising their profile. Chamber events manager Joanna Bond said: “Sponsorship provides businesses with the opportunity to raise their profile and get their brand in front of the key inflencers and decision makers from across the region and beyond.”
