The South West’s friendliest business networking group, the 373 Group, launched its 2017 Business Awards with a veritable fanfare with sponsors, Griffin Chartered Accountants, confirming their sponsorship at the May networking event at Colliton Barton Training Centre.
Griffin, a Honiton based Chartered Accountancy firm founded by Graham Higgins and Misty Nickells, confirmed their financial support for these popular awards for South West businesses. Misty Nickells of Griffin Chartered Accountants said, “We are only too pleased to recognise the massive contribution that those, often unsung, local businesses make and the 373 Awards were a great way to do this. We would encourage all South West businesses to get involved!”
Tom Hope, co-founder of the 373 Group said, “Nominations are now open across 10 different categories and we are particularly interested in receiving nominations from those unsung heroes who never get nominated for awards but do a great job - with happy customers and meeting a distinct need. The nomination process can not be easier this year – go to https://www.373group.com/events/ and fill in the necessary details. It’s super quick – only 5 minutes and will give your business lots of coverage, especially through our thousands of followers on social media.”
The Award Winners will be announced at the 373 Group Awards 2017 at The Deer Park Hotel, Honiton on 13th July 2017. “This year”, said 373 Group co-founder Chris Lorimer, “the awards event will be bigger and better in the wonderful Orangery at The Deer Park and with copious refreshments and relaxed networking. It will still be very informal but great fun and allow the nominees and winners to reflect on a job well done”.
