2017 Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards Launched

Businesses from across South Yorkshire are being given a chance to share their success over the past twelve months at the 2017 Barnsley and Rotherham business awards which have been officially launched this week.

To mark the launch of the awards, Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber has teamed up with RNN Group, which is responsible for operating Rotherham College, North Notts College and Dearne Valley College who have pledged their support to the event after being named as headline sponsors of the glittering event, which will take place at Magna, Rotherham on Friday 13th October.

There will be twelve different awards on offer this year, including three new categories which will recognise excellence in customer services, commitment to the environment and finally, a new Chamber lifetime achievement award. The overall award of the evening, the Business of the Year award will recognise one business which has demonstrated outstanding achievements and is regarded as one of the region’s most highly sought after prizes.

The Chamber is also calling on member businesses, who are celebrating a significant anniversary this year, to get in touch to receive a Salute to Business on the evening.

All businesses with an “S” postcode as well as members of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber are eligible to enter the awards.
