Congratulations to all shortlisted Cornish businesses

By Western Morning News - 30th September 2019

The Western Morning News Business Awards shortlist has been announced - celebrating excellence in Cornwall and across the region.

Following a hard day of deliberations by top business people in the South West, the entries from across Devon and Cornwall have been whittled down, and the winners of the Western Morning News Business Awards will be announced at a glittering ceremony on November 21 at the Plymouth Pavilions.

From Micro Business of the Year to Exporter of the Year, every type of business, big and small, has been thought of. It was a tough list to narrow down, but the judges have made their choices and the shortlist for the most prestigious business awards ceremony of the year has been been drawn up. Bill Martin, Reach Devon and Cornwall’s editor-in-chief, chaired the panel of judges. He said: “I think we have produced a shortlist that is a credit to the region, and one that it can be rightly proud of.”

The awards, which will also celebrate the Western Morning News’ upcoming 160 birthday, shine a light on the best businesses in the South West. These are the shortlisted entries in the fifteen categories of the Western Morning News Business Awards.
