Sponsorship Pack June 2016 bristolpost.co.uk/businessawards #PostBizAwards
The Post Business Awards have established themselves as the most prestigious event in the local calendar since they were first held in 2004. They are a fantastic opportunity for the business community in Bristol and the surrounding areas to get together in a relaxed and jovial atmosphere to celebrate the area’s best and most innovative companies. And this year the awards celebrated their thirteenth birthday. Much like Bristol the awards have evolved and this year new categories and some new sponsors highlighted the future of business in Bristol. The awards evening was a lavish gala night in the Passenger Shed on Thursday 25th June 2015 and highlights included the attendance of the founders of Aardman, guest speaker Andy Green and of course, the delicious 3 course dinner.
