These awards shine the spotlight on the women at the heart of the Gloucestershire business community.

Now, in their sixth year the Women in Business Awards are all about celebrating success and paying tribute to those whose determination and success is helping to drive the county’s economy.

Over the years, the event has got bigger and better honouring everyone from female apprentices to chief executives and senior managers. We want the 2015 awards to be no exception and there are plenty of ways to get involved in the event.

Sarah Pullen, managing director of Gloucestershire Media, publisher of the Gloucester Citizen, Gloucestershire Echo and Stroud Life said: “We have been running the Women in Business Awards for a number of years and I am delighted to see they have gone from strength to strength.

“This event is one of the highlights in our awards calendar as it is a chance for the business community to come together and honour those women making a difference in Gloucestershire.

“As ever, we couldn’t put on these events without our sponsors and we have a number of exciting opportunities for people to support the event in 2015.”

#HeartOfGlos


The Heart of Gloucestershire Community Awards are now in their eighth year and continue to go from strength to strength.

We hear a lot about the Big Society these days, but our county has always been enhanced by people who think nothing of doing something for others. These awards are all about thanking them for what they do and giving them the credit they deserve.

The categories recognise people who go above and beyond the call of duty, those who care for others and their communities and those who have been involved in remarkable acts of bravery.

Our 2014 awards took place on the 11th June 2014 and were a great success!

We are always interested in partnering up with businesses that share our initiative. This sponsorship pack details how you can get involved to make 2015 an even bigger success!

IN ASSOCIATION WITH


Following the successful launch of our Apprenticeships Awards in 2012, it is one of the newest events added to our portfolio. Now in their fourth year, the 2014 awards were held at the Hatherley Manor, Gloucester on 12th June 2014 and the launch event was attended by HRH the Duke of York.

The Gloucestershire Apprenticeships Awards recognise both businesses that help drive apprenticeship schemes in our county as well as those apprentices.

The awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of individual apprentices, training providers / support network and businesses that employ apprentices and so offer a development programme for apprentices.

#TasteOfGlos

AWARDS 2015

New to our events calendar in 2011, the Taste of Gloucestershire Food and Farming Awards was a resounding success celebrating all that is great about locally produced food and drink from the farm gate to the plate.

The event celebrates farmers, producers, retailers and those pubs and restaurants that we enjoy visiting so much.

The success of the awards are hugely reliant on our sponsors. Their financial contribution has ensured that our events are of the highest standard and as a major part of the judging process, they ensure that this is always unbiased; as they bring their own particular specialised knowledge and expertise to the table.

I am very much looking forward to working with them all this year and view it as a great partnership where true community spirit is encouraged by all.

#GlosSportsAwards


This is an established event and a must in any sporting calendar. The event sets out to celebrate and recognise individuals, teams and clubs who have achieved sports excellence from grassroots sports to professional level.

The Gloucestershire Media sports awards are recognised as the leading sports awards in our county.

From grassroots sporting heroes to the leading professional competitors, they reward outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen as well as our rising young stars.

Every week thousands take part in sport across our county.

For some it is their living, but the vast majority play for nothing more than the sheer love of participating in their sport.

Kevan Blackadder,Editor, Gloucestershire Echo

The Gloucester Citizen, Gloucestershire Echo and Stroud Life aim to highlight not only those who excel in their sport, but those unsung heroes and heroines whose work goes on unnoticed behind the scenes.

Sport is such an important part of many people’s lives and our awards recognise their achievements.

We are hoping for more entries than ever this year and, whether you’re involved as an individual or as part of a club, we hope you’ll nominate your favourites.

Jenny Eastwood,Editor,Gloucestershire Citizen

The Believe in Gloucester Awards celebrate businesses and community groups in Gloucester. The awards have been launched by The Citizen to celebrate the strength of businesses in Gloucester. The awards also celebrate community groups and projects as well as teachers and heritage projects.

In 2013 we launched the highly successful Believe in Gloucester Awards. Believe in Gloucester is such a strong message for our city and the awards really helped shout this from the rooftops.

We have such a wealth of enthusiasm and passion in our city with so many people from all walks of life trying to improve where we live and work. These awards help celebrate those talented individuals, businesses and community groups who go the extra mile to promote Gloucester
