Business awards: last chance for firms to enter prestige county event

Winners at a previous event prior to the outbreak of coronavirus

Time is running out for businesses to shout out about their success in a prestigious annual competition.

The closing date for entries to the Buckinghamshire Business Awards is January 31.

Among the 10 gongs up for grabs this year is one that reflects the impact of the pandemic - the Covid Innovation Award.

Organised in conjunction with the Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership, the awards are a mainstay of the county’s business community.

Other honours include company of the year, top family business, best young entrepreneur and a prize for corporate social responsibility.

Philippa Batting, managing director of awards organiser Buckinghamshire Business First, said: “It’s been a challenging year and we are in awe of the resilience of businesses in the county, many of whom have pivoted to adopt a business model to ensure their survival.

“We’ve witnessed the unparalleled level of support shown by our business community with webinars and support being offered to help other businesses get through this difficult time.

“We know that the Buckinghamshire Business Awards 2021 will look very different but this year more than ever, it will be great to celebrate our business community and its successes.”

Winners will be announced in May 2021. For more information, visit: www.bbf.uk.com
