We are also delighted to confirm that Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce will play a greater role this year in the running and administration of the Awards. It has always been the intention of the Steering Committee to work closely with professional business organisations, and the experience and expertise of the Chamber will ensure that the awards continue to evolve and grow for the benefit of the business community.

The Steering Committee and Judging Panels will visit the shortlisted Finalists during October, with the Gala Awards Evening confirmed for Thursday 9th November, once again at the prestigious Pirelli Stadium, home of Burton Albion FC.
