The Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (WLEP) would always encourage local businesses to enter awards and receive recognition for their successes through publicity. There are a number of business awards currently open for applications, including Midlands Family Business Awards and the Visit Worcestershire Awards for Excellence and do let the media know of your accolades, as well as WLEP, so that these can appear in the press as well as via this newsletter and social media.
