The 2021 Concierge Medical Business and Young Entrepreneurs Awards were the most successful run to date. There were more entries than ever before, the range of different businesses nominated was wider than seen in previous years, and the awards ceremony was a major triumph, thanks to the support of our host Loyd Grossman.

And now the awards, which we believe are the only ones in the UK to recognise existing businesses alongside student-run enterprises, are back.

And the 2022 awards will be bigger and better than ever.

Our ambition is to improve and develop the awards every year and this year we’ve made some changes to the award categories which we believe will enhance the awards still further.

We are also delighted to welcome several new sponsors and supporters.

The awards’ headline sponsor continues to be the private GP and doctors service, Concierge Medical, and the category sponsors are; the Weston Industrial Estate, the Cotswold House Hotel & Spa, Chipping Campden School, Cluer HR, itecopeople, Robert Welch, Campden BRI – and supporting the awards for the first time this year are; Jackson Stops, Grenfell James and Mill House Care Home.

…and pulling everything together are the Campden Business Forum who continue to manage the overall awards.

Last year, for the first time, the local community were invited to nominate their chosen businesses and organisations – and this change was a major success, so in 2022 the wider community will be asked to vote again for its favourite company(s) in a range of categories including;.

• Business And Retailer Of The Year
• B2b & Professional Services Company Of The Year
• Excellence In Service Of The Year Award
• New Business Of The Year Award
• The Community Award
• Team Of The Year Award
• Environment And Sustainability Award
• Visitor And Hospitality Business Of The Year Award
• The Ambassador Award

Nominations are now being sought and to learn more about the award categories and place a vote go to www.chippingcampden.com and follow the links to the awards.

Voting is open now and will not close until the end of October, when the shortlist of nominees will be announced, with the winners revealed on November 22^nd.

For 8 years now these awards have incorporated a young entrepreneurs category for students at Chipping Campden School who have a run a business in their spare time. This  will continue in 2022, and the partnership with the school is being further strengthen as the awards ceremony will be held in the school’s new Cidermill Theatre this year.

The north Cotswolds is home is to many varied, interesting, and successful businesses. The Concierge Medical Awards seek to recognise and showcase the important contribution business makes to the local economy. And whilst the awards are centred in Chipping Campden, entries are welcome from all the surrounding towns and villages – so come on let’s celebrate all the great local businesses!
