Nominations open for BristolLive Business Awards 2022

Businesses in Bristol are being encouraged to enter the BristolLive Business Awards 2022 - and have their achievements recognised.

The annual awards ceremony, run in association with BusinessLive and newspaper Bristol Post, recognises the city’s best and brightest companies, bringing together senior leaders from wide-ranging industries, from large corporates to fast-growing start-ups.

Despite a challenging year for business, amid rising inflation and economic uncertainty, many firms have been quick to adapt and innovate - and as a result are thriving. It’s these efforts we want to celebrate.

Last year, due to the rise in Covid infection rates and government restrictions, the decision was sadly made not to go ahead with a live awards ceremony. However, we are excited to announce this year’s event will be returning to Ashton Gate Stadium on November 24.

There are also three new awards being launched for 2022 - the Manufacturer of the Year Award; a Diversity and Inclusion Award; and the High Growth and Ambition Award, which recognises companies that have demonstrated rapid growth over the last 12 months - whether in increased sales, profit, market share, headcount, or moving to new or bigger premises.

The IAMBOB Special Award is also returning for 2022. BusinessLive and parent company Reach Plc first launched IAMBOB in 2020 to support the growth of the UK's black economy. IAMBOB is a national campaign and part of the work Reach is doing to represent all the communities it serves around the UK. It includes a monthly newsletter packed with news and views from Britain’s black-owned businesses.

Entries for the awards are open until 5pm on Friday, September 23. To find out more information about the awards or to enter, visit thebristolbusinessawards.co.uk . We would like to encourage entrepreneurs and business owners from underrepresented communities to apply.

Categories for the Bristol Business Awards 2022

There will also be awards chosen by the judging panel for Business of the Year, Business Person of the Year, sponsored by SpiderGroup, and Lifetime Achievement Award, sponsored by Unitary Engineering Services.

If you or your business would like to be a bigger part of our awards, we do have some sponsorship opportunities still available. Interested? Contact Alastair.Orchard@reachplc.com or 0116 366 5126 for further information.
