I was fortunate to be asked to judge this year’s awards, which has been great fun. We’ve now selected winners across five categories:

  • Innovation.
  • Networking.
  • Social impact.
  • The most progressed business.
  • The most supportive mentor.

The awards take place on Thursday 22nd October 2015 at the Old Library in Birmingham’s Custard Factory. The format is as follows:

  • 9pm – Awards presentation.

The dress code for the evening is lounge suits.
