Sarah Austin, the director of the awards’ ceremony, said: “Business across the UK has certainly been under incredible strain since the start of the pandemic. However, they have shown an astounding level of adaptation – right across the business community – to illustrate how amazing UK business really is.
“This is why the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is so important. There has never been a better time to recognise and celebrate achievements across the entire business landscape. Every one of our incredible finalists have worked tirelessly to not only survive, but also to thrive. We can’t wait to celebrate the people behind these wonderful companies to give them the recognition they truly deserve.”
