Clearwater International joins as headline sponsor for Business of the Year Awards 2024

TheBusinessDesk.com can reveal that corporate financial advisory firm Clearwater International is sponsoring our Business of the Year Awards 2024. 

Sarah Taylor, Partner and Head of the Midlands at Clearwater International said: “We are 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.”

Clearwater International will also be sponsoring our International Trade and CEO of the Year categories. 

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.

This year the Business Masters will return as the West Midlands Business of the Year Awards 2024, backed by headline sponsors LDC, Robert Walters, Cazenove Capital, Freeths and Clearwater International. 

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.

TheBusinessDesk.com’s joint managing director Alex Turner said: “We are looking forward to reaching more businesses than ever before and, with the new judging process, choosing shortlists and winners that really represent the very best performers in the region.

“It remains challenging for many businesses but businesses across the West Midlands have also shown great resilience by pushing through to become stronger and better and we are looking forward to hearing from them.”
