Due to the on-going global health crisis we have all faced unexpected changes and had to adapt to new normalities. Currently, the upcoming months remain uncertain and ensuring the safety of our attendees and staff is our priority, therefore after consultations with our stakeholders and event partners we have taken the decision to postpone The British Business Awards until 2021.

About the event
The British Business Awards event, now in its fourth year, is the leading celebration of the UK’s small business sector, recognising the nation’s best sole traders, micro businesses and small companies – as well as the services providers and advisers that support them.
Small and growing businesses are the unsung heroes of the UK economy. They provide much needed employment and innovation in a wide range of business sectors and industries. The combined annual turnover of small and growing businesses in the UK was £2.2 trillion, accounting for 52% of all private sector turnover in 2018 and employing more than 16.6 million people or 60% of total employees in the UK.
The British Business Awards aim to highlight the achievements of both small companies with less than 50 employees, as well as growing companies with between 50 and 250 employees. While profit is certainly a sign of company success, there are many other aspects of setting up a business that go unnoticed such as innovation, improving the business process, the importance of sustainable business practices, flexible employment policies, cultural and gender diversity to setting up your dream business in retirement.
Our awards celebrate the success of a range of solutions to the business challenges that small and growing businesses face today – solutions that have not only improved the company landscape, but have helped achieve business success.
