Business Leader South West Awards shortlist revealed
The Business Leader Awards recognise and support the best companies in Bristol and the South West
Business Leader has revealed the shortlist for this year’s Business Leader South West Awards.
The finalists were decided through a rigorous selection process by the awards’ judging panel, which this year included Gallagher’s managing director Andy Ferguson; Steve Preston, CEO, Heat Recruitment; Alison Jaap, vice-president care at Ovo; Strike Communications MD Catherine Frankpitt; and entrepreneur Allan Rosengren.
The awards aim to celebrate the best businesses in Bristol and the south west by bringing together the most influential leaders in business, education and government to recognise and celebrate business success, supported by the important professionals and advisors. They recognise the best the south west has to offer in categories including customer excellence, community and social impact champion, export and international business, and inclusion and diversity.
This year’s sponsors are Gallagher, Renishaw, Shaw & Co, Bevan Brittan and Clockwise. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 19 September, 2024, at Aerospace, Bristol. Tickets are now on sale.
