Peaches GoldingRegional Director, Business in the CommunityThose who achieve the Big Tick are leading companies, ones that run their businesses aware that they depend above all on the talent, innovation and loyalty of their people.
Here in the South West, the numbers of companies submitting their programmes to such high level scrutiny has increased year on year. There are a total of 18 categories in the Awards, ten of which have been awarded this year in the South West of England. Two special recognitions go to the region’s HRH Ambassador and our Sieff Award winner. We also have a number of awards, including the Talent Award, that are exclusive to the region and recognise businesses and individuals that have excelled in mobilising business for good.
