The Prestigious black tie event which took place on Friday 27th of November at the Edgbaston Stadium left audiences full to the brim with appreciation for Birmingham, as the city’s people came together in full force to join finalists, sponsors, ambassadors and judges in a night of levity and entertainment.
The Birmingham Awards is the first of its kind to encompass a plethora of different categories celebrating everything from the best bars, restaurant and club to small businesses, the best individual business man and woman of the year, best independent retailer and best blogger, to name a few.
Here at PPS we were very excited for the night as not only were we finalists for Business of the Year but our MD, Kirsty Davies-Chinnock, was also a finalist for Businesswoman of the Year.
We are delighted to announce that Kirsty was victorious and was named Businesswoman of the Year.
