Category criteria

• This category is designed to recognise growth within businesses of any size and sector.

• This could include relatively new businesses that have gone from a standing start right through to long-standing organisations that have been thriving over many years.

• The judges will be looking for growth in areas such as revenue, recruitment or indeed trading territories. Importantly this growth strategy should be sustainable and the business should have the momentum and resources for this to continue. 

• The judges will also be interested to see the innovation that has helped to drive growth.
