Two weeks to go before deadline for 2017-18 European Business Awards sponsored by RSM

LONDON:  EUROPE’s best businesses are urged to enter the 2017-18 European Business Awards, sponsored by RSM, before the end October deadline for a chance to have their business success recognised across the world.

Companies that enter, or are nominated, have the chance to win in one of 12 categories. As well as endorsement and recognition, other benefits include networking opportunities, potential new business partners, increased brand exposure, and the opportunity to be part of a select business community.

To enter or nominate a company go to www.businessawardseurope.com. The competition is independent, free to enter and open to organisations of all sizes and from any industry sector. Last year the European Business Awards attracted over 33,000 organisations from 34 countries. Information on the previous winners can also be found on the website.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of The European Business Awards, said: “For a chance to be recognised as the best in Europe, to learn from peers and gain new clients, please enter or nominate a company today.”

Jean Stephens, CEO of RSM International, the sixth largest global network of independent audit, tax and consulting firms, and long-term sponsors of the Awards, said: “As advisors to growing and successful businesses, such as those in the European Business Awards, we can see first-hand how beneficial this awards programme is for the companies who enter. In such unpredictable times, we believe it is more important than ever to recognise and reward achievements, ethics and ingenuity.”

This year the competition has a three-stage process. Following entry, in November and December a “Ones to Watch” list of businesses, chosen as the most successful, innovative and ethical in each European country, will be published. 

After further judging, 12 National Winners will be announced for each country at a series of networking events. Finally, in May 2018 the final 12 European Winners will be announced at a celebratory Gala.
