The 23rd Gloucestershire Business Awards
The launch of the awards is usually commemorated with a breakfast event, but that wasn’t possible due to the current health situation so here’s what you need to know.
The ceremony The Centaur, Cheltenham Racecourse, 8 October 2020. Senior editor, Rachael Sugden said: “The coming months are going to be challenging for us all. These are unprecedented times for our local, regional and national business community. No matter what the future holds, Gloucestershire is home to many incredible success stories and it’s now more than ever that we should all be shouting about the incredible work our businesses do that contribute to the economic success of the region. “While this year will be a trying time for everyone, it is also an opportunity to come together and support each other. I urge you all to share your can-do initiatives, your positive updates and your optimistic projects – we will get through this period together, supporting each other – and I for one cannot wait to celebrate with you all later this year.” To nominate a business simply visit glosbusinessawards.co.uk
So, we are thrilled to be able to showcase what we do to Gloucestershire’s finest and hopefully create some new working partnerships along the way.’’ The host Louise Minchin will be engaging with the audience as she hosts the awards.

We are excited to be involved with the Gloucestershire Business Awards for a ninth consecutive year and we are pleased to have a charity partner involved from the very beginning for the first time in the awards history. The charity partner The Hollie Gazzard Trust was created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014 by an ex-partner. The trust helps to reduce domestic violence and stalking through creating and delivering programmes to businesses and promoting healthy relationships to schools and colleges. The charity’s founder, Nick Gazzard, said: ‘‘With our roots firmly placed in the county we are proud to be associated with all the great businesses that make it a fantastic place to live and work. We work with many organisations around the UK to safeguard their employees from domestic abuse and stalking.
