These awards shine the spotlight on the women at the heart of the Bristol and Bath business community. Now, in their third year the Women in Business Awards are all about celebrating success and paying tribute to those whose determination and success is helping to drive the county’s economy. The event has got bigger and better honouring everyone from female apprentices to chief executives and senior managers. We want the 2016 awards to be no exception and there are plenty of ways to get involved in the event. Sarah Pullen, managing director of Bristol and Bath Media, publisher of the Bristol Post and Bath Chronicle said: “We have been running the Women in Business Awards for a number of years and I am delighted to see they have gone from strength to strength. “This event is one of the highlights in our awards calendar as it is a chance for the business community to come together and honour those women making a difference in Bristol and Bath. “As ever, we couldn’t put on these events without our sponsors and we have a number of exciting opportunities for people to support the event in 2016.”

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 areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best and most innovative companies. And this year the awards celebrated their ninth 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 Wednesday 25th June 2014 and highlights included our exclusive â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;selfieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; app and of course, the delicious 3 course dinner.

Gold St r AWA R D S 2 015

2014 was the 20th successive year we have held these awards for local heroes. That makes them the longest running awards of their kind in the entire West of England. They celebrate people who have done extraordinary things. Some have saved lives, some have cared for others, some have raised huge sums for charity or have made a real difference to their communities. Others have faced adversity or illness with great courage. All of the 2014 winners are then invited to Christmas lunch and the awards ceremony in December. Since the awards were launched in 1994 we have celebrated some remarkable people. They have ranged in age from children of four years old to people in their 90s. Each of them is special to us and will always have a place in our hearts.

Sponsorship Pack

This year, the Western Daily Press launches its inaugural Food and Farming Awards, celebrating the best of the West Country – and some of the best in the UK. The counties of Somerset, Gloucestershire, Dorset, Wiltshire and Devon have some of the country’s most famous businesses and brands, and the Western Daily Press is always right behind them. From field to plate, we want to celebrate every step of this vital industry that underpins the region’s economy and plays such a massive part in the daily lives of those that live here. It has already been a tough year for many and there are clouds ahead for some – but by pulling together we can help one another to shout from the rooftops that West is best. In Spring 2016 in Bristol, we’ll be gathering together the region’s top food and drink producers and purveyors – and you could be among them. Whether it’s a single farmer, a large agribusiness, a cook in a pub or a brewer some of the region’s famous tipples, we want to hear about the most deserving. Put forward your nomination and help us reward the people that keep the West Country moving.
