Chair of the judging panel was the Chamber’s chief commercial officer Katrina Cooke, who said: “Despite the challenges facing businesses over the past year, we still received a tremendous number of entries for our annual awards.

Head of People Solutions, Anne Clews commented, “The past 18 months has shown us that we can still maintain and adapt our offering and service levels to our customers as we transitioned online and digital. In fact, the challenges of the pandemic have meant we have expanded our digitally offerings globally.”
The annual awards ceremony will be an online celebration on Tuesday 27th July. The digital awards will recognise the remarkable achievements of businesses across Greater Birmingham over the most challenging of 12 months.
