The Cardiff Business Awards has been one of the largest city celebrations of business in Wales and across the UK for many years and this year it will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. Over the last 10 years the city’s economy has undergone some significant changes and challenges. Certainly the impact of the pandemic is still evident across our economy, while our businesses have been grappling with a combination of reduced consumer confidence, inflation and changing labour market trends. Despite these challenges the businesses of the city have supported the business awards in large numbers and have demonstrated both their resilience and innovation. I am sure this year on our 10th anniversary we will continue to see a wide range of companies and sectors applying for the awards.
