The British Chambers of Commerce today (07/03/19) launched the opening of the Chamber Business Awards at London Stock Exchange with 2018 Business of the Year winners Northcoders. The prestigious competition is one of the showpiece events in the business calendar, recognising and promoting the best of British business through a series of regional heats, culminating in a Gala Awards Dinner, which will take place in London on 28 November 2019. Entries open today and will run until Friday 28 June. Next year’s winners of the Business of the Year award will have the same chance to open the market at London Stock Exchange as a prize, a rare opportunity for a private business. In 2018 Norfolk triumphed on both a regional and national level. When the regional winners were announced we we’re so excited that five Norfolk businesses took six awards. This meant those businesses were entered into the national heats to compete against businesses across the country. On the big night, Larking Gowen LLP and Liftshare took home national runner up titles in their award categories, and Gnaw Chocolate won Small Business of the Year 2018! We want to continue this success in 2019 with the aim of getting more Norfolk businesses to enter, and ultimately to win those awards! We know there are great things happening across our county, now is the time to shout about it to the whole of the UK. There are nine categories available to enter including two new ones:
- Export Business of the Year
- High Growth Business of the Year
- Customer Commitment Award
- Small Business of the Year
- E-Commerce Business of the Year – new and open to non-members
- Best Use of Technology
- Workplace Wellbeing Award
- Employer of the Year
- Family Business of the Year – new
These awards are only available for Chambers members to enter, with the exception of E-Commerce Business of the Year which is open to all businesses. Visit our awards page to find more information, winning tips, FAQ’s and of course… to enter!
