Businesses across Dudley are being urged to “fly the flag” for the borough and apply for a major national award. The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise recognise outstanding achievement in businesses.
The leader of Dudley Council is urging businesses to apply for the awards and highlight the “outstanding” work that goes on in the borough.
It follows the leader’s Made in Dudley borough initiative which highlights the work of borough businesses – from innovative chemical cleaning companies to manufacturers of cabinets used all over the world.
To be eligible for the awards businesses need to be based in the UK, pay tax in the UK and be a self-contained enterprise that markets its own products or services and is under its own management. Businesses must also have at least 2 full-time UK employees or part-time equivalents, show strong corporate social responsibility and can be a business or non-profit.
The deadline for applications is midday 6 September.
