New dates have been set for two huge business events in Devon.
The Exeter Business Awards and Plymouth Business Awards will now be held at a later date in light of the current situation surrounding COVID-19.
As a result of the spread of coronavirus and the latest Government advice we've made the decision to postpone the Exeter Business Awards 2020, which were due to be held at The Great Hall in Exeter on Thursday, June 18, 2020, to the new date of Wednesday, September 30, 2020.
The Plymouth Business Awards 2020, which was to go ahead on May 21 at Plymouth Pavilions, will now take place on Tuesday, September 15, at the same venue.
Due to this postponement, we have also extended the entry deadlines.
The Exeter Business Awards deadline is Sunday, June 21 and the Plymouth Business Awards deadline is Sunday, June 7.
We apologise for the postponement but it is the right thing to do in the current climate.
We would like to thank the Devon category sponsors Devon County Council, Exeter College and The Moorland Hotel along with The Great Hall, Exeter University for their support and understanding.
