BRITAIN'S SMALL BUSINESSES ARE CHAMPION
Now in its third year, British Small Business Champions attracted record levels of interest in 2004 from young and well-established enterprises operating right across the business spectrum throughout the UK.
Sponsored by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), Lloyds TSB and the Mirror Group newspapers and supported by Business in the Community, BSBC provides a showcase to celebrate the outstanding achievements of British small businesses and to recognise the success of entrepreneurs.
Six regional winners (from North, Central and South, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) are chosen to go through to a national final which this year will be held on 10 November at Claridge’s in London. There is also a special merit award which rewards the enterprise deemed to have made the most significant contribution to its community.
The first round of judging is over and here are the names of the regional finalists. The regional winners will be announced during events to be held around the country during September and October.
