RSM Malta calls for votes to support local champions

Eleven companies from Malta will compete for the title of National Public Champion in this year’s European Business Awards, sponsored by RSM, as the public vote is now open.

The companies have posted a video online at www.businessawardseurope.com explaining the unique story of their business success. They will now compete against each other and the company with the most votes will be named National Public Champion for Malta on 6 March, giving each company just over seven weeks to get as many votes as possible.

The European Business Awards was set up to support the development of a stronger and more successful business community throughout Europe. This year it engaged with more than 33,000 businesses at entry stage. Lead sponsor RSM, a provider of audit, tax and consulting services to middle market businesses globally, has supported the European Business Awards since its inception. Last year the public vote generated over 227,000 votes from across the globe.

Maria Micallef, managing partner said: “It is great to see so many fantastic companies from Malta at this stage in the competition. It is hugely important that we support our local businesses and we urge everyone to take the time to cast their vote. RSM Malta will continue to work hard to become the natural provider of choice for those small and medium enterprises with an ambition to grow locally and internationally. Our highly skilled team will help these companies move forward with confidence.”

The Maltese companies participating in the European Business Awards include: CloudLabs Ltd, Exigy Ltd, Aqua BioTech Group, Business Leaders (Malta) Ltd, CasaSoft Ltd, WasteServ Malta Limited AirX, HalMann Vella Group plc, NetRefer, Ozo Group of Companies and STM Malta Trust & Company Management Limited.

Jean Stephens, CEO of RSM, the sixth largest network of independent audit, tax and consulting firms, with a presence in 43 European countries said: “The videos pro- vide a fascinating insight into some of Europe’s most inspiring businesses and the story of their success. This is a showcase of European business excellence and a testament that no matter how large or small, old or new, companies who have a true understanding of their financial and business landscape can thrive in all areas. Good luck to everyone in this round of the competition.”

Immediately after the National Public Champions are announced, a second and final public vote will begin as the final companies compete against each other to decide one overall European Public Champion.

Separately, the Awards’ independent judges will review the videos and select 110 category finalists who will then go on to the Gala Final in May where the final winners, as well as the European Public Champion, will be announced.
