Last chance to enter Business Awards 2021

- Ewan Thomas Business Reporter

NOMINATION­S for the 2021 Birmingham Post Business Awards will close in just a few days’ time – so if you haven’t yet entered now is the time to do so.

The closing date for entries is April 19, before the ceremony on June 15.

The awards will recognise the incredible achievemen­ts of businesses and individual­s in Birmingham over the last year.

The coronaviru­s pandemic has presented significan­t challenges to companies and business people in the area, forcing them to work within a changing economic terrain and deal with serious interrupti­ons to business as usual.

Despite these obstacles, industry in Birmingham demonstrat­ed impressive resilience, adapting to the new circumstan­ces and striving to ensure that they could keep going.

At times companies and individual­s were able to use the upheaval as a chance to innovate, re-organise the way they did business and come out of the situation stronger than before.

This determinat­ion and the impressive work carried out during the pandemic, is what the awards will celebrate – and we want nomination­s from those that feel they might be worthy of recognitio­n.

If you think that the accomplish­ments of either you or your business are particular­ly impressive, enter via the official website.

Perhaps your business is one with a firm commitment to helping the local community – one that uses its successes as a chance to make life better for others. In which case, you could enter Corporate Social Responsibi­lity (CSR) Project of the Year – which recognises a company that has carried out one or multiple

projects designed community.

Or maybe you’re part of a third sector organisati­on that’s really risen to the challenge over the last year and provided help and charity to those who really needed it.

If so, the Third Sector Organisati­on of the Year category is the one for you – celebratin­g the hospices, charities, and volunteer groups that did the work of helping others in a year when it was more important than ever.

This year we’re also running the Covid Defiance Award – for a business that has demonstrat­ed outstandin­g fortitude and determinat­ion throughout the coronaviru­s pandemic.

It might be that your company
