Calling all Thames Valley exporters

Local companies who export their products and services overseas have the chance to shine in this year’s Thames Valley Business Awards 2009.

The Thames Valley Export Award is being sponsored by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) South East and is designed to recognise and celebrate the successes and achievements of businesses which are involved in overseas trade.

David Murray, Awards chairman, said: “We’re delighted to have UKTI on board as a sponsor and want to encourage as many companies as possible to enter.

“Doing business overseas can be extremely lucrative, but there is no doubt that it can also be a challenging prospect. Every year, UK Trade & Investment helps hundreds of businesses to gain and develop the skills to trade successfully overseas and this Award is the perfect opportunity for companies to show how much they have achieved.”

Entries have already been flooding in for this year’s Business Awards, now in their 15th year, and companies have just a month left before the closing date of September 30 to complete their entries online.

There are six categories in total:

  • The Business Management Team Award – sponsored by The Royal Bank of Scotland


  • The Dynamic Business Award – sponsored by Deloitte


  • The Thames Valley Business of the Year Award – sponsored by Pitmans


  • The Best Place to Work Award – sponsored by Vail Williams


  • The Thames Valley Export Award – sponsored by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) South East


  • SME* of the Year Award


  • Guest of honour at the awards ceremony, held at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre, in Reading on November 19, will be former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Lamont.
