The 2021 NottinghamshireLive Business Awards are just around the corner, as we prepare to celebrate another year of achievement by Nottinghamshire’s business community. The awards, in association with Champions (UK) PLC, will be held on October 14 – for more information, visit the official website.
Each year, businesses and individuals across Nottinghamshire are nominated for the awards in an effort to recognise their accomplishments – and the work that goes into keeping the county’s industries thriving.
This work was particularly difficult during the coronavirus pandemic, as businesses across Nottinghamshire and the country as a whole were forced to suddenly change the way they worked, or stop work altogether for a time. Nonetheless, Nottinghamshire businesses and individuals worked tirelessly to overcome the obstacles in front of them and succeed against the odds.
Innovation is crucial for any business – the ability to constantly improve and evolve is key to a business becoming a leader in its field. This was even more important during the pandemic – as businesses found themselves needing to radically change the way they worked, with many developing innovative solutions that made them much more effective.
