Thank You!

The Cardiff Business Awards are over for another year. We’d like to give a huge thanks and congratulations to all who entered, were shortlisted and of course the winners.

Thanks also goes out to our sponsors, partners and suppliers, all of whom contribute hugely to the success of the awards.

We will be back for the 2018 awards in January.
