The UK’s most inspiring companies are being urged to showcase their talent by entering a top national business award that could open doors - with the most accomplished UK firm winning a £50,000 cash boost.

The call comes from the British Chambers of Commerce as they launch their prestigious Chamber Awards programme.

John Dunsmure, managing director of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “We all know how difficult it’s been out there for business recently. That makes it even more important for companies to make the most of every opportunity they can to demonstrate their strengths and skills.

“The chance to win a £50,000 cash injection is an attractive proposition for small self-starters right up to established multi-million pound global businesses.

“The Chamber Awards 2009 are free to enter for Chamber members and can help businesses develop a good reputation with the public and the business community, as well as helping to increase their competitive advantage.

“Rewarding and encouraging talent is an important part of running a business - it boosts morale. These awards are not only a great way to honour the tireless work your company does every day - but also provides recognition and shows the rest of us what you’re capable of.”

Last year, Gwent-based waste management firm GD Environmental Services were crowned the Winner of Winners for Outstanding Business Achievement.
