A case of rise and shine at awards launch
FIFTY guests and sponsors of the Birmingham Post Business Awards 2016 gathered at The Belfry golf club and hotel resort for a special breakfast launch event.
The breakfast, which was hosted by The Belfry’s sales director Katie Niland, heard from Birmingham Post editor-in-chief Marc Reeves about what is a key period for the city’s economy ahead of the EU Referendum.
Mr Reeves also encouraged as many of the city’s businesses as possible to enter the 2016 awards to celebrate their achievements and the part they are playing in Birmingham’s growing economy.
Ms Niland said: “We were delighted to be able to host this event and support these prestigious awards.
“The support of the Birmingham Post and the highly esteemed sponsors is essential to the commercial success of The Belfry, therefore this is a great opportunity to show thanks for this continued support.
“The Belfry has played an instrumental role in Birmingham, being named as one of the top UK conference and events UK.
“Following our £26 million investment in 2014, The Belfry has helped raise the profile of Birmingham both nationally and internationally, resulting in our business seeing significant growth in all sectors both in revenue and rate.
“We look forward to building relationships with all nominees and wish them all the very best of luck at the awards night in October.”
