The glittering finals night for shortlisted winners has been confirmed for Thursday June 13.
The venue will be the same, the Riviera International Conference Centre in Torquay, where last year around 200 guests enjoyed a great night of inspiration and celebration at the 2023 awards ceremony.
Entries will close on Friday April 5 with Judging Day set for Monday April 8.
At the moment the categories remain the same but there may be some interesting additions over the next couple of weeks so watch this space. Those available now are:
Overall Business the Year
Inspiring Employer of the Year
Best New Business
Commissioner's Business Community Champion Award
Small Business of the Year
Award for Innovation
Tourism Business of the Year
Environmental Award
Young Business Person of the Year
James Wright Award for Inspirational Leader
Torbay Weekly Jim Parker also presents two surprise lifetime contribution awards to the community and business on the night.
Some of last year's category sponsors are already committing to this year - with details announced next week and over the coming weeks.
Editor Parker says: "I would just like to say a huge, huge thankyou to those who are supporting us again, especially our category sponsors, this year. Without that support this event would not be possible.
"That would be a real shame. Of course, I am biased but I believe the awards have brought businesses together in the Bay especially after Covid.
"We have even had queries coming in about buying tickets and tables which is sensational and we have had some entries!."
If you would like to sponsor a category please contact jim.parker@
