Professor Martin Broad, Dean, Faculty of Business, Law and Digital Technologies at Winchester University said: We are proud to sponsor the Sustainable Business Award again in 2021 to celebrate successful businesses through the lens of sustainability.

Paul Spencer, Executive Director of Winchester BID THE hunt is on for the best SME or independent businesses across the Winchester district. This category is sponsored by Winchester BID and will be presented to a dynamic company with less more than 15 FTE employees which demonstrates all round excellence in business. Executive Director of the BID, Dr Paul Spencer said: “After such a challenging time and as restrictions begin to ease this is the perfect time to recognise the achievements of our fantastic local businesses which have shown such resilience in hard times and reward them for their commitment to excellence. Independent businesses in Winchester contribute to the character and life of the city, helping to make it a unique and exciting place to live, work and visit.
