WBCA Wrexham Business and Community Awards

Milestone

The Wrexham Business and Community Awards (WBCA) officially launched back at the end of March. Over 200 people from local businesses and the wider community came together at the head office of Net World Sports on Wrexham Industrial Estate to mark the occasion.

SINCE THE LAUNCH, THE TEAM ORGANISING THE AWARDS HAS ANNOUNCED THAT WELL OVER 70% OF ITS SPONSORSHIP IS NOW CONFIRMED. There are already some great names supporting the awards, including JCB, Net World Sports, Moneypenny and Wrexham Glyndŵr University, to name just a few!

The awards website and social media platforms are due to go live later in June and the awards will be open for entries until September. In the meantime, the team is organising a series of events over the next few months, to provide further opportunities for businesses and community groups to network.

Easy to enter

The awards are free and the entry process is really simple. The organisers are encouraging written or ﬁlmed applications, answering a few straightforward questions, to ﬁnd out some of the amazing things happening in and around Wrexham.

There are 12 categories and businesses are welcome to enter as many times as they would like.

Summer programme

The next event takes place at Moneypenny's office on Wednesday 28 June, where the team will be announcing the sponsors, as well as unveiling the presenter and some other information about the night of the awards. To register to attend, please email info@wrexhambca.co.uk

Following on from that, a programme of outreach events is being planned to take place over the summer holidays, before a ﬁnal networking opportunity in October, ahead of the awards night on 10 November

Commented Samantha Jones, founding member, volunteer award organiser and now sponsor: “I am delighted to conﬁrm Moneypenny is one of the sponsors of WBCA 2023.

Personally, I was excited to get involved with the formation of the awards. Celebrating the successes of Wrexham businesses and communities is so important, which is why I encouraged my company to get on board with it too. There are plenty of ways other businesses can still get involved and I think the more people do, the bigger the positive impact will be on the wider community.”

The awards are being organised as a not-for-proﬁt event and the team are all volunteering their time. At least 50% of the ‘proﬁts’ will be donated back to the community, to local charities, to make an impact. Any remaining funds will be invested back into next year’s awards.

Our volunteers are from across Wrexham and all different company sizes: Ian Bancroft, Sian Bostock, Amy Chadwick, Sophies Davies, Spencer Harris, Clara Hughes, Samantha Jones, Alex Loven, Vaughan Schoﬁeld and Craig Weeks
