The first North Worcestershire Business Awards #NWBusAwards

Wow, North Worcestershire only went and got its very own awards and I’m pleased to say that we (along with other fantastic local business people) had a hand in crafting this and presenting it to the area, by being part of the working group which made sure that it was an absolute success.

So, after months of hard work, it all culminated in the award night on Thursday 28th November 2019 with a black tie event at Hogarths Stone Manor. It was such a pleasure to see 170 local business people come together to celebrate how great businesses are within the area.

Oh, and there was one of these glitzy awards on offer for each of the following categories; below is the nominees for each category as well.

So making something like this doesn’t just happen on its own; it required a team of people and the companies below were part of the working group who steered the awards into what was to be a fantastic event. However, many more people were involved from the various teams and companies and they all helped make it a night to remember.

The Working Group – Jane Doyle (NWedR), Rosemary Henderson (Business & Innovation Magazine), Sam Adkins (Hogarths Stone Manor), Georgina Harris (NWedR), Terry Livesey (DT Studios), Melanie Hawkett (NWBL), Rose Padmore (Opening Doors and Venues), Sophie Hughes (Citizen), Samantha Preece (Millbrook Marketing)
