New South Coast Business Awards
3 March 2011
City Champions have jumped at the chance to support awards at the first ever South Coast Business Awards organised by the Southern Daily Echo, Business Southampton and Destination Southampton and sponsored by The Coast.
At the launch of the event last night at the De Vere Grand Harbour Hotel, it was revealed five of the nine awards were being sponsored by City Champions – and Business Southampton is also sponsoring the award for the City Champion of the Year.
Awards being sponsored by City Champions include:
- Corporate Social Responsibility - aap3
- Best Use of Technology – Taylor Made Computer Solutions
- Commitment to Education & Training – BAT
- Business Individual or Entrepreneur of the Year – RSM Tenon
- Growth Business of the Year – Smith & Williamson
The top four businesses shortlisted in each category will also be put forward for the Business of the Year award sponsored by The Coast.
New City Champion, Oxford Innovation Centre, will be sponsoring the dinner at the glittering awards evening on July 15.
Business Southampton CEO, Sally Lynskey, said she was delighted so many City Champions are involved with the awards.
“This event has been a long time in the planning and it will be a wonderful showcase for business.
“In such a difficult economic climate, it's easy to lose sight of the many positive, innovative outcomes that businesses in the Solent region are achieving – this will be a chance to recognise excellence.
“I am pleased that so many City Champions have agreed to sponsor the awards. I know this event will be a huge success and it will run for many years,” she said.
Any company within the Solent region is eligible to enter or to be nominated for the competition.
