Sponsored by main sponsor, Rockwool UK Ltd, the winner of each category will have the chance to win the overall ‘Bridgend Business of the Year’ award.
We’re thrilled to have launched our sixth annual business awards. With a brand new category launching this year, we’ve never been more excited!
We encourage all businesses across Bridgend County Borough, not matter how big or small, to enter our 2018 awards and celebrate their achievements with us.
