As the build-up to the 2022 SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Awards begins, we can now reveal all of the 22 categories for this year’s event and the county firms making it all possible.
From the Business of the Year category, sponsored jointly by headline co-sponsors Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors, the event will also see a shortlist of entries vying for titles including New Business of the Year (sponsored by Montrose Group), Employee of the Year (sponsored by GB Solutions), Team of the Year (sponsored by ReformIT) and Heritage Business of the Year (sponsored by Hewer FM).
James Fyrne, co-founder of SoGlos and managing director of the Gloucestershire business, said: ‘Last year we promised we would create an event to recognise and celebrate the amazing success stories which fuel and inspire our local economy – and the support we received was phenomenal.
‘This year we have been yet again overwhelmed by the calibre of businesses which have stepped forward to sponsor this year’s 22 awards categories – meaning we can make the annual event even bigger and better.
‘We cannot thank all of our sponsors and SGGBA partners enough for their support.’
