Be part of our celebration of the South West’s outstanding leaders
The region’s outstanding business leaders will be celebrated later this year – and now is the time to get your entries and nominations in.
TheBusinessDesk.com created the South West Leadership Awards to celebrate the people that are role models within their organisations and raise the bar for their competitors. The winners will show the qualities of extraordinary leadership and are able to demonstrate the positive impact this has had.
The South West business community will come together to celebrate the best in business leadership on Thursday 17 July at the Bristol Harbour Hotel.
The Leadership Awards offer a great opportunity to recognise and showcase the achievements and success of businesses in the region.
Entries are now open, until Friday, April 10. There are a wide range of categories to enter, with the awards also recognising specialists, including finance, HR and marketing, as well as rising stars in the young leader and emerging entrepreneur categories.
Two of last year’s winners – Louise Mitchell and Ed Rowberry – will join Peaches Golding and Steph Jary on our judging panel.
Alex Turner, joint managing director of TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “We are really looking forward to this year’s awards and seeing the impact that leaders are having across the region.
“Last year’s inaugural event put the spotlight on a great group of business leaders and we are eager to see who has stepped forward in the last 12 months.”
