Express & Star Business Awards 2018 Entries Are Now Open

The region's premier business awards

Today marks the start of our search for the very best companies, entrepreneurs, products and services that our region has to offer, to enter the Express & Star Business Awards for 2018.

These awards will shine a spotlight on the businesses that represent the whole range of commercial activity across our region, from single traders working from a town centre office to the major manufacturers employing hundreds on major out-of-town enterprise parks ­ - and everything in between.

Every year we have been able to celebrate the fabulous companies that make this area their home, and for our latest event we are aiming to attract our biggest ever entry. We want more firms to recognise just how great they are and join in, competing for the attention and rewards they so richly deserve.

Sponsors

We can only hold these awards because of the support of our sponsors and this year we have been delighted that four new names ­– Crowe Clark Whitehill, HomeServe, Made in the Midlands and Sandwell College ­– have joined our team. You can read commercial profiles on each of the sponsor companies over the next few pages.

The competition is free to enter. Turn to the centres of this special awards supplement to see the categories on offer, along with full details of how to enter. Most of the categories are open to just about every business while others have some restrictions.

But all are well worth a look. You have until February 28 next year to take part, but you must register with us in advance through the awards website: businessawards.expressandstar.com

All the finalists, along with our sponsors and other representatives from the region’s business and civic communities will attend a glittering awards evening at Wolverhampton Racecourse on June 7.
