Maidenhead and District Chamber of Commerce, aimed at recognising excellence in

their unique story.
WIDE RANGING SUPPORT
Theresa May, The Prime Minister
“The Maidenhead and Windsor Business Awards are a fantastic opportunity for the businesses in our local area to showcase their stories,
and to be recognized for their contribution to a thriving economy. We have some fantastic businesses across many different industries in
Maidenhead, from small to medium sized enterprises through to large public and private companies or not for profit organizations. The
awards will have a wide range of categories, and will recognise excellence in all types of local businesses that contribute to a thriving
economy. They will also provide the opportunity to network with leading local companies, and set new benchmarks for future success. I
certainly encourage all businesses to put themselves forward and to attend the event so that everyone can benefit from it.”
Adrian Moorhouse, MBE, Olympic Gold Medalist, MD, Lane 4
“Recognising and celebrating high performance in business, whatever the size or sector, is important. The Maidenhead & Windsor
Business Awards provide a great opportunity for you and your employees to take pride in your achievements and build on this success for
an even stronger future.”
Tim Smith MBE, Chief Executive, Thames Valley Berkshire LEP Ltd
“The Maidenhead & Windsor Business Awards are an important element of the business network that is so critical locally and across the
wider Thames Valley; a network that facilitates peer-to-peer development and helps business do business. They offer an opportunity to
showcase commerce at its very best and to send a strong signal of confidence & innovation and at time of great change. Windsor and
Maidenhead businesses contribute to a thriving economy – now worth over £35bn GVA in Berkshire alone. The Awards will do much to
celebrate this success.”
