If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, then there’s at least one business award category for you to enter.

Eight separate award categories mean there’s something for everyone. Whether you are an individual, small business, or large corporate, if you’ve achieved something you’re proud of then the South East Business Awards provides a platform to share your success.

The Award categories are:

Judges are looking for companies which have helped raise levels of productivity in the South East and whose environmental and social commitment makes them exemplars in sustainable business practice.

Up to 32 short listed companies will be visited by an expert panel and will receive a special in-depth report featuring an analysis of their business and suggestions on how to improve their performance.

Companies can apply online for the awards at www.southeastbusinessawards.co.uk  The closing date for applications is 14th November 2007.  The winners will be announced on 6th March 2008 at the Awards Ceremony at Ascot Racecourse.
