South Norfolk Council has launched its new “Business Awards” to recognise and celebrate the economic success of the district. The new awards build on the council’s very popular Independent Retailer awards, widening the scope and focus to reflect the diversity of the business community in South Norfolk.
Entry for the awards opened on 01 November and businesses can nominate themselves for an award in any of the nine categories and at the same time residents will be asked to support their favourite business by nominating them as ‘South Norfolk Retailer of the Year’.
South Norfolk Council’s Deputy Leader, Michael Edney said: “In South Norfolk we actively support and encourage inward investment and business growth. The district is home to so many successful businesses, from multi-national organisations, cutting edge tech and bio science companies to the widest range of independent shops and traders.”
“These awards are an opportunity to celebrate the astonishing number of successful businesses that we have. If you’re a business owner, put your company forward for the recognition both you and your staff deserve and if you’re a customer make sure you nominate your favourite business as our Retailer of the Year”
