THE SHORTLIST for this year’s Solihull Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards has been released.
The winners of 10 sector awards will be revealed at a special ceremony next month with one business going on to be crowned the overall Solihull Business of the Year.
The host venue is also a headline sponsor for the event, alongside Solihull College and University Centre and Solihull Council.
Judging for the awards was chaired by Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce’s chief financial officer Helen Bates.
The judging panel included Gymshark non-executive director Steve Hewitt, The FSE Group’s Harriet Saunders, Browne Jacobson partner and Transatlantic Chamber president James Tait and Diamond Travel owner Dr Beverly Lindsay.
Helen Bates said: “Once again, the judges were faced with a difficult task of whittling down some truly outstanding entries for these awards.
