The newly entitled Lloyds Bank National Business Awards, which take place in November at the Grosvenor House Hotel London, has also just extended its entry deadline to 5th June 2015, giving companies an extra two weeks to submit their entries.
The Awards, now in their 14th year, recognise excellence across the public, private and third sectors – from entrepreneurs, SMEs and social enterprises to the FTSE 100, mid market and large private firms and boasts strong support from business leaders, government figureheads, media and corporate partners.
Lloyds Bank will sponsor the awards for New Business of the Year, Small to Medium Business of the Year, Digital Business of the Year and the Decade of Excellence which was won last year by Justin King CBE, CEO of Sainsbury PLC.
