After a number of requests we have extended the deadline for entering the Richmond Business Awards – but you only have until Monday, no ifs, no buts.

Numerous and varying entries have been received and it should be an interesting year for the judging panel, and you could make it even tougher.

There are many categories to choose from, and the coveted best business awards could be yours at the ceremony on October 17.

The people’s choice award looks set to go to the wire as well, with a huge selection of businesses already voted for.

So get your entries in to stand a chance of picking up one of our awards.

Editor David Rankin said: “We had a number of businesses asking for an extension so thought it only right to open the opportunity up to other businesses too, but Monday really is the absolute deadline.

“I have seen a number of the submissions and they are of a very high quality, as always, but that doesn’t mean a late arrival can’t come up the rails and take one of the titles. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the judges decide.

“There are some new faces and some old favourites in there – could your business bring something different to the table?”

All entries are judge by independent experts with a huge amount of experience in business, so we are confident the winners will be very deserving.
