Meet All The Shortlisted Nominees
We have taken nominations from across the Thames Valley Region. Over 498 business or individual based within the Thames Valley have been nominated so for anyone that has been shortlisted it is a massive achievement.
This year, the standard of entrants was so high that we shortlisted a record-breaking number for the awards across the award categories. While we cannot give them all an award, each winner is truly deserving of recognition for their achievements.
The Thames Valley Business and Community Awards judging process saw a range of esteemed entrepreneurs come together to scrutinise our finalists and select the short-listed nominees from the 498 nominations and the winners among them.
