WELCOME...

- MELANIE PALMER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, SOLIHULL BID “This is the fifth year of the awards and each year we have seen not only an increase in submissions but also the growth in the talent, innovation and vision that our Solihull town centre business community produces.

“The awards showcase everything that is great about Solihull using an inclusive and honest process to ensure our awards celebrate all that shine from the shop floor to the boardroom, congratulations to you all and have a fabulous evening celebrating!”

- KEVIN JOHNS, CHAIRMAN, SOLIHULL BID & DIRECTOR, PRIME ACCOUNTANTS GROUP “The businesses and candidates shortlisted demonstrate their excellence not only through their application but through the work they do every day. The people and businesses that produce such excellent work and high levels of customer service contribute towards making Solihull the place to live, work and shop. Tonight is a great opportunity to celebrate the collective effort of everyone within the town centre and I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone for coming and my congratulations to everyone shortlisted for an award this evening.

“This evening is a celebration of both the local talent and excellent businesses we have within the town centre but also a night to give recognition to the BID and show our appreciation of the excellent work they do within the town centre. Tonight is just one of many excellent events run by the BID in the town centre throughout the year. We hope you all have an excellent evening and continue to enjoy the other events and festival throughout the year.”
