Thames Valley Business Magazine Awards – finalists announced
Judges have decided on the finalists for the 2016 Thames Valley Business Magazine Awards. The winners will be announced at a glittering black-tie dinner to be held at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre at the Madejski Stadium in Reading on Thursday, November 17.
The special guest speaker and awards presenter is Gyles Brandreth, renowned writer, broadcaster, former MP and government whip. A reporter on The One Show on BBC1 and a regular on Radio 4’s Just a Minute, his many books include The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries and the No 1 best-seller: The 7 Secrets of Happiness.
David Murray, publisher of The Business Magazine, which hosts the event, said: “These awards are now in their 22nd year and, as ever, the quality of entries was extremely high. We’d like to congratulate the finalists on reaching this stage of what are now, by any measure, hotly-contested awards, in a region that boasts some of the country’s most dynamic and successful companies."
