The Broadland and South Norfolk Business Awards are returning to celebrate the outstanding businesses that help our communities and local economy thrive.
South Norfolk Cabinet member, Lisa Overton Neal said: “These awards are a brilliant way to recognise the creativity, hard work and dedication of our local businesses. I encourage every business to take part and share their success. I also urge residents to vote and support your favourite pub and retailer. Your vote could make a real difference, and you could win a prize.”
Broadland District Council Cabinet Member, Martin Booth said: “Broadland boasts a wide variety of businesses from huge multi-nationals to one-man bands, in sectors as diverse as food and drink production, retail, insurance and tourism. It’s these businesses and the determination of the people behind them, that help our economy thrive, and our Business Awards are a well-deserved chance for them to be recognised for their hard work.”
