Cardiff Business Awards 2022 launched this week, with businesses across the capital once again encouraged to enter to gain recognition for their achievements over the last 12 months and to celebrate at a black-tie dinner in City Hall on the 11th November 2022.
Now in its eighth year the Cardiff Business Awards have grown in prestige and importance to become firmly established as one of the leading business awards, not just in Cardiff, but throughout South Wales.
Last year saw the awards back at City Hall and Genesis Biosciences being recognised as the Cardiff Business of the Year. This year we are back on the search for the best of Cardiff Businesses, and entries are welcomed from any Cardiff based business. The deadline for entry is the 9th September.
This year we are really pleased to welcome Euroclad as our new headline sponsor for the awards. Euroclad Group is a leading international supplier of architectural metal building solutions to the construction industry and have been operating for over 40 years.
