It is the company that made its name by inaugurating one of the country’s largest fitness events seven years ago.
Now BodyPower, which launched BodyPower Expo in 2009, is a proud sponsor of this year’s at the ICC.
Co-founder Steve Orton believes his firm is an ideal backer for the Creative Communications & Digital Business Category which will be announced at the event on Wednesday, October 26.
Steve said: “As a local business, with a growing international presence, we feel supporting the Birmingham Business Awards enables us to actively engage with the regional business community and support inspiring, dedicated and passionate companies progressing the sector.”
BodyPower Expo continues to attract more than 90,000 health enthusiasts and world-renowned athletes for three days of exhibitions, interactive areas and national competitions at the NEC.
The company recently faced the tough task of selecting three finalists for the BPBA 2016 category and looked for businesses that had demonstrated an unfaltering dedication to developing something truly creative across a variety of industries and selected Connect Group, Story Comms and Top Banana.
Steve said: “Digital media and communications plays an integral role in numerous businesses worldwide, to see how regional businesses are at the forefront of this is a major reason as well as our own focus of growing our digital and social reach where we have a large online presence for BodyPower.
“Technology is bridging the gap between end users and business allowing and enabling a better user experience and brand loyalty.”
