The European Business Awards is Europe’s largest cross-sector business competition, recognising the exceptional achievements of 34 countries, which demonstrate innovation, success and ethics. 

The UK winners of the awards will be announced in London on Thursday 25th January, with the European grand finale taking place in May 2018.

The 'Business of the Year with Turnover €26m-€150m' will go to the outstanding companies that best demonstrate exceptional financial returns, strong growth and innovation strategies, and market leadership in its sector.

Judges will look for evidence of inventiveness, ethical credentials, good stakeholder relationships and long term planning balanced by the flexibility to deliver consistent results in dynamic market conditions.

“We are very pleased to have been recognised by the prestigious RSM European Business Awards, not only as a finalist but also in the ‘Ones to Watch’ list – it’s a great achievement! 

“Competing against companies across the UK and Europe, it reflects the sustainable growth we have achieved through strategic and innovative research and development.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards, said: “We wanted to recognise more widely the many incredible business success stories from across Europe.

“The talent, dedication and innovation at the heart of these companies creates jobs and opportunity, and is what drives their country’s prosperity. The ‘Ones to Watch’ lists will set a benchmark of success for the European business community.”
