We are looking for the very best in business to take a bow.

The inaugural Bury Free Press Business Awards will celebrate the very best in West Suffolk business and showcase the skills and entrepreneurs we have here.

Business in West Suffolk is thriving – and our awards will give you the chance to tell everyone what is great about the businesses you own, you work for or just simply love.

There will be awards for businesses who are contributing to the wider community, individual workers who are producing something special and for fledgling businesses.

There are 11 categories, listed below, and anyone can nominate using the online form - you can nominate someone or a business who has performed well, you can nominate someone you work alongside or you can nominate yourself or your own business.

Once we have all the nominations in - closing date is August 1 - we will approach everyone who has been nominated to find out more details about them or their business. This information will then be used by judges to determine the three finalists who will be invited to the glitzy awards ceremony at The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, on Friday, September 21.
