Business of the year - chosen from the above category winners
This year's judging panel was chaired by Helen Bates, chief financial officer at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, and comprised Wow Group chief executive Qasim Majid, Crown Highways' managing director Mike Dale, Squire Patton Boggs director Helena Morrissey and GirlDreamer co-founder Kiran Kaur.
Ms Bates said: "The judges had their work cut out, with some amazing businesses applying in each category.
"There was a lot of discussion about the shortlist in each case but at the end of the process the results were remarkably consistent and the overall winner was a unanimous choice. There is clearly a lot going on in Solihull and the judges would like to congratulate all the applicants on their achievements."
The awards take place on October 17 at the Marriott Forest of Arden hotel near Meriden.
