Chance to meet awards judges

BUSINESSES across Bedfordshire are being given the chance to network and find out the best way to get success in a major county awards scheme.

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Awards are open to all companies in Bedfordshire either self employed or with up to 200 employees.

The informal networking event, called Meet the Judges, Meet the B Class, will be held at Mercedes-Benz of Bedford, in Ampthill Road, Bedford, on Thursday (March 8) from 6pm-8pm.

Attendees will be invited to find out more about the awards, hear from a past winner, learn from an entry expert and attend a workshop to help decide which category to enter.

Businesses can enter up to three out of the 15 categories in the awards that are open to FSB members and non-members. The closing date for entries is April 27 and an awards night will be held at the Mansion House, Shuttleworth in June.

David Glover MD of headline sponsor Mercedes-Benz of Bedford, said: “It is important that businesses understand the awards entry process and that they have confidence in the quality of the judging panel. Our event provides an open and transparent opportunity for people to engage, have some fun and meet the newest addition to the Mercedes-Benz range of cars.”

Details of how to book £5 tickets (£2.50 goes to charity) for Meet the Judges as well as tips for entering the awards can be obtained at www.fsb.org.uk/bedsawards
