Business awards prove Britain's got talent

The UK’s most inspiring companies are being invited to showcase their talent by entering a national business award, with the most accomplished firm winning a £50,000 cash boost.

The call comes from the British Chambers of Commerce as they launch their Chamber Awards programme.

John Dunsmure, Managing Director of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “We all know how difficult it’s been out there for business recently. That makes it even more important for companies to make the most of every opportunity they can to demonstrate their strengths and skills.

“The chance to win a £50,000 cash injection is an attractive proposition for small self-starters right up to established multi-million pound global businesses.

“The Chamber Awards 2009 are free to enter for Chamber members and can help businesses develop a good reputation with the public and the business community as well as helping to increase their competitive advantage.

“Rewarding and encouraging talent is an important part of running a business - it boosts morale. These awards are not only a great way to honour the tireless work your company does every day - but also provides recognition and shows the rest of us what you’re capable of.

“What we’re looking for are inspirational, innovative businesses that use best practice to achieve great results.”

This year’s categories are: Business of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Achievement in International Business, Excellence in Customer Service, Excellence in People Development, the Most Promising New Business, the Green Award and the Award for Innovation Through Technology.

To enter the awards online go to www.chamberawards.co.uk/2009 and for further information contact awards@chamberawards.co.uk. The closing date for entries is Friday 26 June.
