The awards offer a chance to recognise the incredible work that goes into keeping Nottinghamshire’s industries running, and the businesses and individuals that make for a thriving business community.
Throughout 2020 and much of 2021, the coronavirus pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to businesses, entrepreneurs and employees alike - forcing them to adapt to changing economic landscape, and operate under strenuous constraints. Despite such obstacles, the Nottinghamshire business community demonstrated the skill and resilience that makes it so special, surviving and often thriving in the face of challenges.
We sought nominations that reflected these amazing achievements so that we might celebrate these businesses and individuals - and after a period of judging, our finalists have been chosen. In the run-up to the event, we’re putting together short profiles of the finalists, so that people can read up on their accomplishments ahead of the awards.
The category of SME Business of the Year - sponsored by - is for those companies employing up to 250 full-time staff. Such companies are a vital part of any business community, and this category serves to celebrate their achievements and ambition. The finalists for this category are below:
