NHBF's Business Awards: 

Nominees and guests will be welcomed to the NHBF’s dazzling awards evening with a drinks reception and a delicious three course meal.

Tickets to attend are priced at £95pp.

NHBF President, Agnes Leonard said:

“Our Business Awards are back by popular demand after we launched them last year to mark 75 years of the NHBF. Businesses in our industry work extremely hard, so what better way to recognise and reward success than with a glitzy awards dinner? The response we received last year was phenomenal, so we can’t wait to see what the 2018 entries will bring before the big announcements are made in November.”
