Categories for this year’s Wellingborough & East Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards have been announced as entries officially open.
The awards, which celebrate commercial success, opened for entries on Thursday, April 14, after an absence in 2021 due to the global pandemic.
The five categories up for grabs this year are:
- Services Business of the Year
- Retail Business of the Year
- Industry Award
- Chamber Community Award
- Excellence Award
Chamber President, Pritesh Ganatra, said: “After the global pandemic halted last year’s awards, we are delighted to be back and ready to praise businesses in the area with five categories, including this year’s Excellence Hero award.
“For the Excellence Hero Award, we are looking for businesses, charities, and organisations who have supported their customers, other businesses, and any local community services during the pandemic, especially during the full lockdown periods experienced over the past two years.”
He added: “We feel privileged to be able to provide businesses in our towns and villages with this wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate their success and hard work.”
All businesses across the Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire area and those that show a ‘significant commercial interest’ in the area can enter the awards, not just existing Chamber members.
Entrants must display excellence, particularly how they have made a pioneering approach to business as well as showing a commitment to furthering the success of the area.
The deadline for entries is 6pm on Friday, September 30, and the shortlist will be revealed on Wednesday, December 1. The Awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday, December 7, starting at 8.30am.
