It was great news to hear that this year’s Swansea Bay Business Awards 2021 had moved back to a glittering live event. Though the virtual world has served us well over the past 18 months, we’re all desperately overdue a night of celebrations.
And what better way to do just that as we recognise Swansea Bay’s stunning success.
The resilience, adaptability and ingenuity of people in our region has meant that we have beaten the odds to not only survive the troubling times, but thrive.
Live at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea on Thursday, October 21, our business community will reunite for an exciting black-tie evening. Dressed up to the nines instead of dressed down in pyjamas, with a glass of bubbly in hand instead of a cuppa, the event is set to be one to remember.
