The presidents of the three Chambers will also present President’s Awards to their chosen recipients.
It is the 10th anniversary of the popular the awards which celebrate the achievements of businesses across three geographical areas in the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce group.
The event first launched in 2017 as the Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield & Tamworth Chamber awards and was expanded in 2020 to incorporate Cannock Chase Chamber.
Gary Phelps, president of the Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber, said: “There is so much to celebrate about the local business community in Sutton Coldfield, and these awards showcase the very best of what is on offer in the Royal Town.
“I would urge local businesses to make room in their diary to complete their nominations and get involved – by sharing your successes you can not only increase your own visibility, you can also inspire others.”
Fiona Rouse, president of the Lichfield & Tamworth Chamber, said: “It’s exciting to be launching our awards this at a brilliant new venue, Statfold Country Park.
“We have so many businesses and individuals in our area achieving amazing things, who deserve to put themselves forward, and I encourage you all to send your nominations in.
“With new categories to apply for – now is the time to shout about your achievements and make the judges job as difficult as possible!”
David Mitchell, president of the Cannock Chase Chamber, said: “These awards are more than a celebration - they’re a chance to be recognised and rewarded for the dedication, drive, and progress you’ve made.
“Cannock Chase businesses continue to show incredible commitment in challenging times, and these awards offer a powerful platform to showcase that success.
“Don’t miss the opportunity to shine a spotlight on your achievements — and gain the recognition you and your team deserve.”
