Each finalist will be featured in the Western Daily Press and on HTV West. In addition to a series of seven news items on this year's event, including features on all six finalists, HTV West will be broadcasting an hour-long programme on the Award, scheduled for Sunday lunchtime on 8th July. While many of our former finalists and winners, such as Dyson Appliances, are household names, we have also been able to spotlight many of the West's outstanding businesses which are less well-known to the public. Mr McIlwraith stressed that the judges are not solely focused on turnover and profit performance. Any company with a strong story to tell should consider entering, because we are also interested in how businesses have coped with market challenges, how they have built strong employee relationships, how they have introduced new ideas, how they have planned for the future, and how they contribute to our region.
Entry is open to any company based in the West of England with at least three years' trading record.
Entry packs can be obtained from Rhian Kooy at PricewaterhouseCoopers' Bristol office on 0117 9291500.
