Rotherham firms are encouraged to put themselves forward for the 2008 Sheffield Business Awards. The city region's outstanding businesses will be recognised at the high profile awards, which attracted an audience of over 1,000 in 2007, drawn from all sectors of the Sheffield business community. Organised by the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by BiG and the Environment Agency, catergories include The Wake Smith Manufacturing Award, The Business Link Enterprise Award and The Sheffield Hallam University Young Business Person of the Year Award.

"The event is well and truly established as a showcase of all that is best in enterprise. The awards are part of the Chamber's ongoing commitment to supporting businesses, whatever their size." The awards are open to all businesses with a Sheffield postcode and full details can be found on the awards website.
