A FRESH APPROACH TO BUSINESS AWARDS Greater Birmingham’s business community has never had awards like this. We’ve pioneered a completely new model that unites three regional communities under one prestigious campaign, and you can be part of driving it. Here’s how it works: businesses enter regionally, finalists are automatically shortlisted for Greater Birmingham Chamber recognition. We’re discovering brilliant businesses across every corner of our region that might never have entered traditional awards. Your sponsorship is tailored to you. You can champion a specific region, align with sustainability categories, or be part of the entire campaign. It’s built around what matters to your business.
