Main Sponsors announced

 

 

 

“We are delighted to announce that the Awards this year are being supported by two main sponsors, something we didn’t expect to achieve quite so quickly,” said event organiser Pam Knight, Director of White Knight Marketing.

“Following last year’s tremendous success we were swiftly approached by PKF Francis Clark, and Taunton Deane Borough Council.

“We were looking for one main sponsor and both came forward at the same time. In the true spirit of the collaboration that brought these awards into being last year, the two organisations agreed to partner and share the main billing. We are incredibly grateful to them for their generosity of spirit,” she added.

Martin Lock, Senior Partner of PKF Francis Clark declared:

“We are delighted to be a main sponsor of the Taunton Deane Business Awards 2017.  As a firm we are passionate about helping businesses grow and develop, and the Awards recognise the great entrepreneurial and inspiring businesses we have here in Taunton Deane, providing a fantastic platform for them to showcase their success.

“Having been involved in the Awards since their inception, we have seen them develop into the ‘must apply’ event that they are today and we very much look forward to highlighting and celebrating more businesses in 2017!”

David Evans, Business Development Manager for the Council expressed how

“Taunton Deane Borough Council is proud to be one of the main sponsors of the 2017 Taunton Deane Business Awards.

“Business is thriving in Taunton Deane, and the Awards represent a perfect opportunity to celebrate the many successes we have locally.  From start-ups to plcs, and from High Street to online, I wish every entrant success in this year’s competition”.

 

With over 70 entrants last year the organisers of the Taunton Deane Business Awards have also announced new categories for this year.
