Why Enter?

A Business Excellence Award is an opportunity to gain a marketing advantage and be recognised for the hard work of you and your colleagues.

Past finalists and winners have all benefitted from:

• Increased business opportunities.
• Extensive media exposure for their company and its products/services.
• A free and independent assessment by a panel of business experts.
• Rewarded employees that are motivated towards even greater success.
• The chance to benchmark their business against peers and competitors.

Free to enter, the awards are open to organisations of all sizes and individuals – regardless of industry or sector. If you are based within South Hertfordshire, South Buckinghamshire, North London or North West London, you are eligible to showcase your talent and success to our independent panel of judges.

Categories

There are seven award categories, of which two can be entered per organisation or individual. You can apply on behalf of yourself or nominate another.

Finalists will be shortlisted at the end of March for each category and invited to attend the gala awards dinner on Thursday 17 May 2012 for the announcement of the category winners.

Furthermore, organisation finalists will automatically be entered into the “Business of the Year” category and suitable persons from the businesses will be entered into the “Entrepreneur of the Year award.  These categories will be determined by the judges during their visits and cannot be entered directly.
