The Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards took place returned to Stadium MK on Thursday 23rd March, celebrating achievements within the business community.
The prestigious Milton Keynes Business Achievements Awards saw over 600 guests pack out the ballroom to celebrate the achievements of local businesses.
This year's theme was ‘Celebrating Diversity’ and many of the night's winners demonstrated their commitment in this area.
Hosted by MKFM's Trevor and Ros, guests heard the 14 category winners, alongside their stories, announced on stage.
Chair of MKBAA organisers Milton Keynes Business Leaders Partnership, Nicholas Mann, said, “This year we saw a record number of entries into the awards, so that made our judging panel’s decisions even harder. So many businesses have championed their own diversity and inclusion work, so it’s fantastic to be able to celebrate that together, as a vibrant and thriving business community.”
“On what was also a sell-out night, on behalf of the entire MKBAA team, I’d like to congratulate all of our winners, and to thank all entrants, judges, sponsors, speakers and guests, without whom the awards just couldn’t take place.”
