Words from our Sponsors


Federation of Small Businesses
FSB - Federation of Small Businesses It is with the greatest pleasure that the Western Region of the FSB sponsor this category of the Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards and we wish all the entrants success with their own enterprises. Our members are members of the same group and understand the challenges and determination needed to operate in the small business sector. We know that small businesses play a full part in our lives offering local solutions and services, which help to keep communities sustainable. Nationally their contribution to the economy is described as significant and it is against this background that the FSB is there to support all small business members with its activities across the country. To demonstrate our commitment to this event the FSB will be represented by one of our national officers to congratulate the winner on the night.

Mainline Employment

Mainline Employment Agency are pleased to be involved with The Wiltshire Business Awards, as we firmly believe in supporting local businesses and helping to increase work opportunities for people in this area, with so many businesses these days moving abroad for discounted production and staffing costs, we feel strongly that awards like these help companies to realise and utilise the local potential and encourage growth in the area. We are supporting the ‘Best Business Culture Award’ as we believe strongly in providing a special effort to go the extra mile in filling all our temporary and permanent placements within the community, having ourselves been runner up in this field previously and having over 18 years experience in recruiting we are looking forward to participating in this event.

NatWest
“Once again, NatWest are delighted to be involved with the Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards through the NatWest Award for Innovation and Growth. We see the Awards as an excellent fit with our philosophy of investment in the local business community, and the quality of the businesses we have seen over the last 3 years of our involvement has been of an extremely high standard. The Awards generally present an outstanding opportunity for companies to increase their profile, and to network with a large number of like-minded peers.

BBC Swindon
The Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards is now a major event on our calendar. It gives the BBC locally an opportunity to recognise the extraordinary innovation and community connection in companies across the county. It is a great credit to the Swindon Advertiser that the paper has developed this prestigious event, demonstrated by the increasing number & quality of applicants every year. It is remarkable that, in this highly competitive global economy, so many companies have such a commitment to making a difference in our community. It is because of this that we are delighted to be associated with the Outstanding service to the Community Award.
