"The Cardiff Business Awards remains one of the largest city celebrations of business in Wales and across the UK. This year we will be celebrating the 11th anniversary. Over the lifetime of the awards the city’s economy has continued to transform itself despite strong headwinds. There still remains significant macro challenges for our businesses and communities to deal with while interventions by the President of the USA are introducing additional areas of uncertainty for businesses and the economy. Despite these ongoing challenges businesses across the city have supported the business awards in large numbers and have consistently demonstrated in their applications how they are contributing to growth, resilience and innovation in our economy and communities. I am sure this year we will continue to see via the entries, the significant contributions businesses in Cardiff continue to make to the challenge of achieving growth in our economy, an objective set by the UK and Welsh Governments."
