A stud farm, a space technology company and a luxury watch manufacturer are among finalists for nine prizes at the 2019 South and Vale Business Awards.
Applicants for the awards discovered if they’d made it to the final stage of the business awards that cover several aspects of business including innovation, social responsibility and overall employer of the year on Friday.
The awards are organised by South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council's Economic Development team to highlight and celebrate the magnificent work of businesses in the local area.
Finalists of each category are invited to attend a fabulous awards ceremony at Williams Conference Centre on Friday 15th March, where the awards winners will be revealed.
Simon Bassett, lead partner from UK Top 100 law firm and lead sponsor, Royds Withy King, said: “Following the success of the inaugural 2018 Awards, we are delighted to once again be on board as lead sponsor for the 2019 awards which have grown to include businesses based across South Oxfordshire as well as the Vale of White Horse. We have great pride in supporting our communities and we are looking forward to working with the South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils, and our fellow sponsors, to promote and celebrate some of the most diverse and successful businesses based across the regions."
