The Awards are open to all businesses in Shropshire – any size, any type of business, start-ups and of course, previous winners!

"The awards evening would not be possible without the support of our magnificent sponsors." Ruth - Chief Executive

You don’t need to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce or any other organisation. There are 14 awards this year, so why not give it a go?

Winning can be a real boost for you, your employees and your business.

The Awards are considered one of the best nights on the Shropshire business calendar.
