The finals of the South & Vale Business Awards are now quickly approaching, taking place this month on Friday 15th March at the prestigious Williams F1 Conference Centre in Wantage. In case you’ve missed it, carry on reading for some more information on what the SVBAs are, how they could benefit your business, and Ben’s place as a finalist.

The South & Vale Business Awards celebrate the efforts and achievements of businesses based in South Oxfordshire and The Vale of White Horse, recognising companies for their work with the community, innovation in business, organisation and  subsequent success. The awards are made up of 8 categories:

• Large Business of the Year
• Employer of the Year
• Early Stage Innovation Award
• Established Innovation Award
• Social Responsibility Award
• Business Leader of the Year
• Business Space of the Year
• SME of the Year

The SVBAs represent a unique opportunity for employers and business owners to connect with like-minded individuals and share their commitments to growth, development and innovation. As well as adding credibility to businesses, the SVBA have established a network of people with a passion for success and given them the opportunity to be a part of a much wider and more varied group of businesses across the South Oxfordshire area.

Thompson & Terry Recruitment are delighted to be attending the SVBAs this year, as our Managing Director Ben Thompson, has been shortlisted as a finalist. Ben is up for the Business Leader of the Year Award which recognises those who are dedicated to driving their businesses forward, with regards to finances, reputation, employee development and presence within the wider community. Whilst Ben is hopeful, he is up against some very tough competition, namely John Harris from OBN and Richard Kennell from SOFEA. But regardless of the outcome, Ben and everyone at Thompson & Terry Recruitment are immensely grateful for the recognition and opportunity to be a part of such a reputable and influential local event.
