A scheme to help businesses in Bristol and the West of England prepare for Brexit has been named the 'most effective' in the 海角视频.
Business West scooped the 'Most Effective Campaigning' accolade at the annual British Chambers of Commerce awards for its Trading Through Brexit (TTB) scheme.
Business West's TTB was launched in October 2018 to help businesses across the region prepare for life outside of the EU.
TTB centres on a regular video series fronted by Business West's director of policy Matt Griffith, who offers companies practical planning advice.
Businesses are also able to post questions to the Business West policy team via the TTB hub, which are then answered online.
The judges praised TTB for making a "real impact" by helping businesses to "cut through the noise" and get on with business.
Business West has also been working with the West of England Combined Authority’s Growth Hub and the Swindon and Wiltshire Growth Hub to help companies with more intensive support.
Bristol-based business Avon Valley Precision Engineering (AVPE) is among the companies to engage with the TTB programme.

Mark Summers, AVPE's managing director, said: “We asked Business West to help us better understand the potential impacts of Brexit on our business.
"All advice was comprehensive. Business West managed to disseminate detailed technical information into far more understandable layman’s terms.
"My team now have a far better grasp on the challenges we face and how we need to amend our internal processes and systems accordingly.”
Phil Smith, managing director at Business West added: “Business West has been the leading authority on business and Brexit in the South West since the referendum.
"As the voice of business for the region, we have been working tirelessly to ensure that businesses’ views are heard on the matter, so much so that we have attracted an audience share of over 17 million in the process.
“Working side by side with the business community, our policy team has been instrumental in enabling businesses to prepare for Brexit throughout this period.
"The launch of TTB was, therefore, the natural next step, allowing more and more businesses to benefit from our advice online. I am delighted at the impact TTB has made to businesses in our region.”
