Business Masters awards

The Business Masters will return in the autumn to celebrate the region’s success stories of the past year.

The annual award ceremony is a key event in the business calendar, recognising the achievements of companies across the North West.

This year is particularly important because of the huge disruption and challenges caused by the pandemic which have forced all businesses to be agile, innovative and resilient.

The Business Masters winners will be revealed at TheBusinessDesk.com’s annual North West dinner on 3 November 2021 at The Midland Hotel, Manchester.

Shelina Begum, North West editor of TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “After an unprecedented year, businesses have had to change how they operate, disrupt the marketplace, create new products and services and opened up to new opportunities.

“We know from the stories we have been writing over the last 12 months that the region’s companies have stepped up and met the demands of the pandemic with ingenuity and tenacity to ensure they could emerge from the pandemic with a business that can be rebuilt.

“We hope that as many businesses as possible will enter to mark the return of the Business Masters awards.”

The Business Masters awards have categories for businesses of all types, from start-ups to global brands.

We are introducing two new awards this year – the Disruptor and Sustainability awards.

These will recognise achievements in two areas that have become much more important – how businesses are harnessing the power of tech to change their company and industry, and how they are addressing environmental issues to be a more considerate company.

The entry deadline is 16 July 2021 – click here to enter.
