Are you the best The Birmingham Post
THE best businesses in Birmingham – large and small – are invited to showcase their achievements and enter this year’s Birmingham Post Business Awards (BPBA 2017).
The annual awards are one of the most important dates on the city’s business calendar and BPBA 2017 is set to be bigger and better than ever.
The continued regeneration of Birmingham, the election of a new West Midland Mayor and the ongoing success of the city’s excellent universities are presenting more opportunities for investment and commercial development in Birmingham.
The Birmingham Post wants to celebrate this success and highlight the finest firms the city has to offer.
Entries are now open and there is a dedicated website for entrants at www.bpbusinessawards.co.uk/2017/

Also enjoying a successful night was Kingswinford-based manufacturer RP Technologies which won both the Small Business and Excellence in Manufacturing awards.
Other firms to enjoy the spoils of success were New Business of the Year Colmore Tang Construction, Retailer of Year Harvey Nichols and Not-for-Profit organisation the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.
