Applications are open for Torbay Business Awards

If you think you know a business worthy of recognition, give them the opportunity to stand out by nominating them for an award at the upcoming Torbay Weekly Naturally Inspiring Business Awards.

Following the success of the nomination process in last year’s awards, where over 100 deserving businesses were recognised, the tradition is back for 2024.

Many outstanding businesses or organisations may not have the time or confidence to put themselves forward, which is why the Torbay Business Awards is calling on anyone to nominate a business that they believe deserves recognition.

With 12 awards covering every part of the Bay’s business community, it’s a perfect time to shine a spotlight on a company that has gone the extra mile.

Did you receive exceptional service from a local business? Or perhaps a supplier or partner has played a crucial role in your success? Nominate them for a Business Award!

To nominate a business, simply send an email to julian.barnes@clearskypublishing.co.uk with the details and up to 100 words about why you're nominating them. You can choose to include yourself as the nominator or remain anonymous.

The entries closing date is now 12 noon on Friday, April 26 with judging day pencilled in for Monday, April 29.
