2015 Cherwell Business Awards

The Cherwell district is home to a vibrant mix of businesses. The extent of their excellence is not always apparent, and that's why we have these awards.

Now in its 4th year, the organisers and sponsors are proud to announce the launch of The Cherwell Business Awards 2015.  Applications and nominations can be made online at http://cherwellbusinessawards.co.uk/ from 20th October 2014 through to 30th January 2015.

The Cherwell Business Awards continues to grow and establish a solid reputation within the North Oxfordshire business community and serves to showcase and celebrate the excellent business people and organisations we have here in the Cherwell District.

The 2014 Awards received over 30% more applications from a wide range of businesses across North Oxfordshire.  The event also enjoyed more publicity than ever before, as well as attracting nearly 250 guests to the fabulous Gala Dinner on the 16th May 2014.

The 2015 Awards have attracted new sponsors, resulting in the addition of an exciting new award category for Apprenticeships.  This means that with 10 Award Categories there is something for every company and business person within North Oxfordshire.
