Time Running out to enter 'Welsh Business Oscars'

Chepstow

There are three weeks left to enter the Monmouthshire Business Awards (MBAs). Local businesses are being urged to enter one of the varied award categories. The MBAs are regarded as the Oscars of the Welsh business community.

These prestigious Awards, supported by Monmouthshire County Council, are the county’s only award scheme to recognise and promote local business excellence.

Winners are rewarded with a cash prize, and with a unique bespoke trophy. But there’s far more to entering the MBAs than just prizes and fabulous Champagne Gala Dinners. The MBAs can:

Boost Your Media Profile: The MBAs are one of Wales’ most talked-about Awards, and entrants generally receive significant exposure thanks to our strategic partners in the regional and national print, broadcast and digital media. We invest heavily in marketing and PR to ensure that entrants, nominees and winners receive the media recognition their businesses deserve.

Build Customer Trust, Confidence and Loyalty: The MBAs are a benchmark of quality which cement corporate credentials and set you apart from your competitors. They may also help you to win new business, and engage more effectively with new target audiences.

Motivate and Reward Your Employees : Nothing boosts morale and teamwork better than a business award. It sends a message to your employees that their achievements are worthy of county-wide recognition.

The MBAs are now in their fifth year and continue to go from strength to strength, showcasing the outstanding contribution that the county’s businesses make to the UK economy.

This year is set to be the best yet, with more than 500 people expected to flock to the black tie gala on Friday 21st October.

The full list of categories is as follows:

  • Company Demonstrating Sustained Growth
