BASINGSTOKE businesses can now enter the Inspire Business Awards.

The past year has seen the world face many changes and challenges and it is more important than ever to celebrate the amazing efforts that businesses are going to. This is exactly what the Inspire Business Awards set out to do. The judges are calling for those that are doing incredible things in order to overcome the challenging economic environment, to survive and to thrive to enter the Inspire Business Awards.

Success can be found anywhere, whether a large corporate firm or someone setting up in business for the first time at their kitchen table. The aim of the Inspire Business Awards is to shine a spotlight on some of the quiet achievements and successes of entrepreneurs based in north Hampshire. There are 12 categories this year suitable for all types and sizes of business. Entry is free and business people from across north Hampshire are encouraged to put themselves forward.

Now is the time for businesses to enter to be in with the chance of being selected as a finalist this autumn and have the opportunity to present their business to the judging panel.

“We are very much looking forward to holding the Inspire Business Awards event this year, not only to celebrate those finalists selected in 2021 but also the 2020 winners who have yet to hold their award aloft on stage,” said Felicity Edwards, managing director at Destination Basingstoke.

“Although Inspire is an awards programme, and not just a good night out, we know that north Hampshire businesses will be looking forward to getting together and we are excited about delivering this showcase event for the region once again!”

Entry into the INSPIRE21 business awards is free and those selected as finalists will each receive a free ticket to attend the prestigious ceremony. The ceremony, which is organised and managed by Destination Basingstoke, attracted over 500 people in 2019, representing more than 180 businesses from the region.
