SHORTLIST REVEALED
NEW CATEGORIES IN THIS YEAR’S AWARDS:
THE shortlist for the 2019 Birmingham Post Business Awards has been revealed. This year’s awards will celebrate business excellence across 12 different categories including four new prizes for corporate social responsibility, hospitality, property and young businessperson.
The 2019 list of finalists includes small businesses, start ups, household names and large corporations.
The Post is delighted to welcome Barclays, Birmingham Airport, Fazenda, ICC, Jaguar Land Rover, Park Regis and PwC as our 2019 event partners and sponsors.
This year’s judging panel was chaired by Birmingham Post editorin-chief Marc Reeves.
He was joined by Lucy Fardy, relationship director with Barclays, PwC’s Midlands private business leader Neil Philpott and Sarah Pullen, Midlands managing director for Birmingham Post publisher
Reach plc. Mr Reeves said: “It’s always a tough but very satisfying job judging the entries to our annual business awards as it reaffirms
our faith in the Greater Birmingham business community at such a tumultuous time, politically and economically speaking. And it’s
particularly pleasing that we are recognising the achievements of young entrepreneurs and business people with their own dedicated category – one of four new ones for 2019.
“I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to enter and congratulate the finalists and I look forward to the awards ceremony in September.”
The award ceremony takes place at the ICC on Thursday, September 12.
