Adur & Worthing Business Awards 2017 - ‘The awards organised by businesses for the businesses’
The new organising committee of the Adur & Worthing Business Awards are delighted to confirm that the awards will now be independently run and organised under the umbrella of the Adur & Worthing Business Partnership (AWBP) as a ‘Not-for-Profit’ business model. James Stoner, a member of the existing committee and category sponsor recently commented “Going forward the awards are to be organised by the businesses for the businesses and by working together with the AWBP, we look forward to the continued success of one of the most prestigious events in the local business calendar”.
The AWBP plays a pivotal role as an independent partnership working on behalf of the Adur and Worthing business community and Adur and Worthing Councils. The AWBP is seen as the ideal vehicle to take the Adur & Worthing Business Awards forward, securing the longevity and the future success of the event. Peter Webb MBE a member of the AWBP commented, “In recent years the Business Awards have gone from strength to strength and looking ahead, our main priority is to continue this momentum. I believe now it is the right time to move the awards forward and develop a not-for-profit model under the stewardship of the AWBP”
