We're delighted to be hosting this event in partnership with The Courier, join as we look to the forthcoming awards season and support businesses to nominate themselves for some of the most prestigious awards across the country. 

No matter how small or large your business is, entering awards can not only raise your profile across the region but also boost staff morale, improve brand awareness and increase business credibility. Becoming an award winning business can also increase sales and customer loyalty, businesses are more likely to stick with a supplier if they are perceived to be doing well.

Nominating your business for awards can also help benchmark your organisation. During the application process you'll look at your business from a different angle and compare yourself to competitors in your sector. Having to consider your competition, and how you stand out from the crowd, will help you think about identifying areas of improvement. This process can, in some cases, be more valuable than the prize itself. 

We'll be joined on the evening by a number of experts who will guide you and your business, helping build an award winning region. Speakers will cover a range of different aspects including:

• Top tips from a Judge
• How to prepare for an award entry
• Benefits of entering awards
