“We’re very encouraged to see high-quality enterprises from all sectors already coming forward to showcase their work and compete for these awards.”
Firms of all sizes and sectors based in Caerphilly County Borough have until October 2 to enter the 2015 awards. Winners will be announced at the high-profile Caerphilly Business Forum Awards dinner, taking place on November 20 at Bryn Meadows Hotel, Maesycwmmer.
