They are looking to attract even more entries than for the 2015 awards and have streamlined the entry process to encourage as many businesses as possible to enter or to nominate.

Awards chairman Dr Philip Smith said: “At the top of our to-do list is reaching more businesses and persuading them of the benefits of entering. They include the positive media exposure generated, the effect on staff morale and, for finalists, a great night out.”

The organisers also want to see more entries from the logistics, retail and manufacturing sectors in particular among the 12 open award categories.

“There are thousands of other businesses of all kinds within the MK postcode area – and that includes Bedford and Buckingham – that have yet to be part of MKBAA,” said Dr Smith. “So please enter one of the 12 open award categories and take your chance to shine in 2016.

“We have a streamlined two-stage online entry process that is even easier to navigate, as well as the opportunity for businesses to be nominated by others.”

Entries are now open for submission via the MK BAA website www.mkbaa.co.uk. The closing date is November 30 and the awards will be presented at aglittering gala ceremony on March 10 at stadiummk.
