Area's businesses will be celebrated with gala awards night in 2023 for Fenland Business Awards
The best of the area’s businesses are set to be celebrated, as we launch the first Fenland Business Awards from Iliffe Media - publishers of the Fenland Citizen.
The glittering black-tie evening is booked for Friday, March 31, at March Braza Club in Elm Road - the perfect venue for these awards.
The headline sponsor of the Business Awards is top accountancy firm Whitings LLP , with the event being organised by the Fenland Citizen.
The evening will kick-off at 6.30pm with a drinks reception sponsored by our associate sponsor, broadband provider, UPP, while the tables for the delicious three-course gala dinner, which starts at 7pm, are sponsored by EnriCH₄ Ltd (BioteCH).
The awards ceremony will commence at around 9pm with the announcement of all our 2023 winners.
There are 10 categories carrying awards for 2023 are: Apprentice/Trainee of the Year; Best New Start-Up; Best Social Enterprise Business Innovation; Business of the Year (sponsored by Fraser Dawbarns LLP); Businessperson of the Year (sponsored by Stephenson Smart); Customer Care; Employee of the Year; Environmental Champion; Independent Retailer of the Year and finally Readers’ Choice Award (this award will reward excellent customer service in the retail and hospitality industry as voted for by Fenland Citizen readers).
There is a two stage entry process, the first step is to register your entry via the dedicated awards website www.fenlandcitizenbusinessawards.co.uk
Secondly, once the entry has been registered you will receive a comprehensive entry pack via email to complete.
This is what the judges will see so include as much information as possible.
Nominations will close at 5pm on Friday January 13 2023. Nominees then have a few more days to prepare and submit their entry packs - these must be in no later than 5pm on Thursday January 19.
Judges will then start the difficult task of choosing three finalists in each category. These will be announced in the Fenland Citizen on Wednesday February 1 with the finalists being notified via email.
Once announced our judges will then arrange to interview each finalist in their place of business.
Each finalist will be given two free tickets per business for our gala awards night and will be given the opportunity to purchase extra for colleagues, friends and family.
Then it will be fingers crossed until the winners are announced at the live event on March 31.
