Enter the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards 2022

Join the Best of British Businesses Community with BBEA!

After successfully launching my own business, Sarah Austin Events, during the pandemic, I am thrilled that the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards (BBEA) 2021 was a magnificent triumph and cannot wait to see what 2022 has in store! Setting up a company in challenging times fuels my belief in the benefits of an awards programme – and builds a direct alliance with the businesses that will enter.

This event allows me to immerse myself into a world of business and events that I truly believe in - resilience, innovation, sustainability, diversity, equality and celebrating business excellence. I believe that recognising your business achievements should be a year-round acknowledgement so, in taking a rare 365° approach, I have created an all-encompassing programme to appreciate your efforts throughout the year within a variety of networking events as well as the awards.

BBEA’s on-going goal is to develop a prestigious community of thought leaders eager to lend their trailblazing qualities to the transformation of British business, whilst also doing our bit to resolutely drive the UK economy onwards and upwards. If your business is based in the UK, whether it is a well-established brand or an exciting entrepreneurial start-up, and you have something to shout about, then we want to hear it!

We look forward to seeing all of you throughout 2022

What to expect

A Scrupulous judging process

Our judging process is rigorous and extensive which is the reason our awards are so credible, and only won by the very best of UK businesses. After all entries are reviewed against stringent entry criteria, they are whittled down to create finalists in each category. These finalists are then invited to present ‘Dragons Den’ style to our judging panel which always consist of a minimum of 3 judges. Last year some of our judges included, Alex Marsh, Head of Klarna UK, Jonathan Caswell, Origination Director at LDC and Julie Devonshire, OBE Director of the Institute for Entrepreneurship, Kings College London to name but a few.
