Deadline Nears For Chamber Business Awards

Businesses across Northern Ireland are being urged to enter the 2023 Chamber Business Awards before the deadline of Friday 23 June.

Recognising and rewarding excellence in local business, the Chamber Business Awards is one of the UK's most contested and prestigious business award programmes. NI Chamber will crown local category winners who will go on to compete in the UK final later this year.

With eight categories including awards recognising Commitment to People, Scale-up Business of the Year and Community Business of the Year, the awards are open to NI Chamber members in all sectors. There are also categories to recognise ‘green’ businesses, export success, diversity & inclusion and diversification. One person will also win the ‘Game Changer Award,’ designed to single-out an outstanding entrepreneur of the year, which last year, was awarded to John Harkin of Alchemy.

The awards are free for NI Chamber members to enter.
