2017 National Enterprise Network Awards – Shortlist announced!

National Enterprise Network is pleased to announce the shortlist of entries for the 2017 National Enterprise Network awards – a programme established in 2007 to recognise excellence in the delivery of enterprise support, encouraging the exchange of good practice and the development of improved services and organisations.

Once again, it was clear from reading all of the applications just how many fantastic enterprise related initiatives and dedicated professionals there are up and down the country.

Compiling the shortlist was not an easy task as the quality of this year’s entries was very impressive. Our judging panel has chosen a number of agencies that clearly showed us why they are award worthy. So we’re delighted to announce details of those who have made it through to the next stage.

The names of the category winners will be announced on Friday 1st December during a dedicated awards ceremony at our Annual Conference taking place at the NatWest Conference Centre in central London.
