Entries are now open for a business awards dedicated to celebrating and recognising SMEs based, or with business, in Northamptonshire.
The SME Northamptonshire Business Awards are made up of 15 categories that allow any successful business in the UK to enter these prestigious awards.
The awards are “a credible opportunity to support and share in our vision to raise the profile of industrious, hardworking and enterprising SME’s locally,” according to the website. “Business awards are a sought after accolade of achievement, a veritable endorsement of success in business which offers exceptional marketing and PR opportunities as well as increasing your credibility and standing in the eyes of your peers and your customers. Of course, it feels pretty wonderful too!”
The awards will be launched at the Your Business Expo on Wednesday, February 8, at Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. This event will be the perfect opportunity to speak to the Awards Team about this year’s categories, key dates, award partners and their top tips for writing an award-winning entry!
Categories include Best Enterprising Business, Business of the Year less than 50 Employees, Business Woman of the Year, Family Business of the Year and Sustainability Award. All entries are judged by up to 4 individuals on the local panel of judges.
The awards ceremony is set to take place in September, 2023, at Mercure Daventry Court Hotel. Attending the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards also serves as “an excellent opportunity to entertain your staff and/or clients with the top businesses from across the county”.
Although each category has different requirements, entrants must be based in Northamptonshire, or conduct a significant amount of their business there, and must have less than 250 employees at the time of entering or be self-employed.
