Business of the Year: Shine a light on investment success stories

Well targeted investments can make all the difference to an enterprise teetering between success and failure.
Many companies in our region have endured what is likely to be the toughest and most turbulent three years in their existence and, for some of them, a timely investment may have rescued them from oblivion.
We are now taking entries for our Business of the Year Awards to celebrate investment success stories.
The West Midlands Business of the Year Awards 2024 are backed by headline sponsors Cazenove Capital, Freeths, LDC, Clearwater International and Robert Walters.
Clearwater International is also the sponsor for the Investment category.
Sarah Taylor, partner and head of the Midlands, Clearwater International, said: “Delighted to be supporting this year’s Midlands Business of the Year awards.
“The Midlands remains a hotbed for some fantastic businesses and these awards really showcase that talent to the rest of the region. Despite tougher market conditions, we have seen resilience across standout sectors. It’s great to be involved.”

The annual awards ceremony is a key event in the business calendar and recognises companies that have demonstrated outstanding achievements in their industry and continue to contribute to the West Midlands business community.
The awards will celebrate and honour the very best of businesses of all sizes and sectors across the region.
For the first time, the 2024 awards will also include a rigorous judging process that will see all the companies visited by members of our judging panel, before a shortlisting process.
Each company on the shortlist will then be invited to present to the judges why they should win an award, with the winners revealed at a high-profile awards evening at The Macdonald Burlington on February 22, 2024.
There are 15 categories to enter the West Midlands Business of the Year Awards 2024. As with previous years, the Ambassador award will be chosen by the judges.
