You are probably already aware that the Nottingham Post Business Awards 2011 have been launched. The University will again sponsor the Awards Presentation Evening on Thursday 7th July as well as production of videos profiling shortlisted entrants.
Last year few entrants had University of Nottingham connections, so we’re keen to promote the competition widely across the University in order to encourage Nottingham-linked entries. A number of categories seem relevant and applicable to entrepreneurial academics and their enterprises. If you know of exciting new ventures deserving recognition, please raise awareness of the Awards through your networks and prompt those entrepreneurial researchers and business owners to consider putting themselves forward.
Further information on the Business Awards and a link to place entries are available here: http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/businessawards/mean-business-boosting-profile/article-3082735-detail/article.html.
If any ventures you think might merit an award do consider entering, please let Gerrard Wilcoxson (gerrard.wilcoxson@grace.ac.uk)
Do also forward this message to other colleagues able to spread the word to eligible entrepreneurs.
