Buckinghamshire Council 'thrilled to be involved'

By Steven Broadbent, Leader of Buckinghamshire Council

At the heart of Buckinghamshire lies a thriving, dynamic business community – one that we are incredibly proud to champion through the Buckinghamshire Business Awards.

These awards are more than just a celebration, they are a powerful showcase of the innovation, resilience, and ambition that define our county. From bustling market towns to cutting-edge enterprises, Buckinghamshire is home to a diverse range of businesses that are not only driving economic growth but also shaping the future of our region.

Each year, we’re inspired by the calibre of entries across all categories, and the Apprentice and Young Person Employer of the Year Award holds a special place for us. It shines a spotlight on those organisations that are investing in the next generation – nurturing talent, creating opportunities, and helping young people thrive.

We’re honoured to support this award and to play a part in recognising the businesses that are making a real difference. Their stories are a testament to the values we hold dear: hard work, excellence, and leadership.

The awards evening is always a highlight of the year. A chance to come together, celebrate success, and reflect on the incredible spirit that makes Buckinghamshire such a fantastic place to live, raise a family, work, and do business.

We’re thrilled to be involved once again and wish all the entrants the very best of luck. Let’s continue to champion our community and build a brighter future – together.
