A TRULY inspiring venue has been selected for north Hampshire’s premier business awards event.
The INSPIRE10 Business Awards are to be held at a new and impressive 10,460 sq ft industrial warehouse scheme on the Hatch Industrial Park. The large venue has been picked because since the prestigious awards were relaunched four years ago, demand to attend the event has increased each year.
This year, the gala dinner awards will be held on Thursday, November 18, when a huge industrial unit will be transformed for one night only into a glamorous venue fit for the prestigious awards that have become the hallmark of the INSPIRE event.
It will certainly showcase what can be created at the business premises at the industrial park at Hatch, on the A30 near Basingstoke, which is currently being marketed by Woodford and Company.
Councillor Andrew Finney, leader of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, the lead sponsor of INSPIRE10 said: “It is with great pleasure that we announce a larger venue for the Inspire Business Awards. Last year demand outstripped supply, and unfortunately this meant that some businesses were unable to attend.
“This year we are unveiling a new and unusual venue for the dinner, which will allow for more people to attend this spectacular event.”
Cllr Finney said INSPIRE10 will be bigger and better than ever before, with entries open to organisations from a wider area. Any business located in north Hampshire is eligible to enter the awards.
All shortlisted finalists receive two complimentary places at the dinner. The nomination process is now well underway for the 12 award categories although there is still time for businesses to enter or nominate others for the awards. The closing date for nominations is September 10.
