CHAMBER BUSINESS AWARDS 2021

SPONSORED BY FOLK2FOLK

The Chamber Business Awards recognises the best of Herefordshire & Worcestershire. Entertain and engage your clients and staff at the largest business celebration ceremony in the region, with over 650 guests in attendance.

Entries for the annual Chamber Business Awards opened in April 2021 and closed in May. The black-tie ceremony with over 680 attendees will take place on Thursday 2 September 2021 at the Worcester Arena. This will be a perfect opportunity to mark a return to normality and will present winners with a unique marketing edge over their competitors and will bring attention to the great work that businesses have been involved with during the course of the year. Sharon Smith, Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, said: “We have seen a real interest from businesses across the region looking to shout about their success and spotlight their brand. “The advantages that winning an award presents can give a platform to stand out from your competitors and demonstrate to your customers that your brand is prestigious and reputable. “I for one cannot wait to meet all entrants at the in-person ceremony in September and look forward to celebrating the business community and all the resilience and innovation shown over the last 12 months.” On the return of the Chamber Awards and live events Dale Parmenter, DRPG, said: “After an unprecedented down time for the events industry, it’s good to see it starting to open up and it’s brilliant we will once again be able to enjoy the Chamber Awards in September. “Undoubtably, face to face communication is the most powerful way to get a message across. As humans we love shared experiences and also love to be able to say “I was there…” whether it’s our favourite band, a product launch or an emotional acceptance of a Chamber Award. “While virtual events have filled the gap and are here to stay, our research shows there is a considerable pent-up demand for the return to live events. We predict there will be a surge of people wanting to meet face to face for the next 12 months before we see a new norm for the industry, where digital and live create a powerful hybrid solution.” Single Tickets: £99.00+VAT for Members | £119.00+VAT for Non-members Table of 10: £890.00+VAT for Members | £1,070.00+VAT for Non-members Tickets can only be purchased by emailing the events team on events@hwchamber.co.uk.
