The Award for Business Growth
The Business Growth Award celebrates companies that have demonstrated outstanding vision, leadership, and strategic direction to achieve significant and sustained growth.
Whether through increasing revenue, expanding operations, or creating new job opportunities, this award recognises businesses that are thriving and driving economic success in our region.
Our judges will be looking for companies that have not only grown in size but have done so with a clear strategy, strong leadership, and a positive impact on the local economy.
What We’re Looking For
This award is open to businesses of all sizes that can demonstrate sustained growth and a clear strategy for continued success. Whether you’re a start-up that’s scaled rapidly or an established company that’s reached new heights, we want to celebrate your achievements.
Growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about ambition, resilience, and smart decision-making. If your business is going from strength to strength, we want to hear your story!
Strong Year-on-Year Growth in Turnover
Tell us about the key challenges or social issues you’ve taken on and how your business has helped tackle them. Whether it’s supporting disadvantaged groups, improving sustainability, or funding local initiatives, we want to know how you’ve made a difference.
Rising Profitability & Smart Business Planning
Growth isn’t just about turnover—it’s about profitability too. We’re looking for businesses that have successfully balanced expansion with sustainability through sound decision-making, smart investments, and a forward-thinking strategy.
Job Creation & Local Employment Opportunities
A growing business should create opportunities for others. If you’ve expanded your workforce, especially by hiring locally, tell us how you’re making a difference in the job market and helping to build a stronger economy.
Adapting to Challenges & Driving Innovation
The best businesses don’t just grow; they evolve. We want to hear how you’ve tackled challenges, embraced innovation, and adapted to changing market conditions to keep your business moving forward. Whether it’s adopting new technology, entering new markets, or developing fresh ideas, tell us how you’ve stayed ahead of the curve.
