Once entries close mid July, each category will be judged by the category sponsor and finalists will be announced.

Brentwood Business Awards

Following the hugely popular Speed Networking event in January, Brentwood Chamber of Commerce are running another session together with Brentwood Borough Council.
The benefit of Speed Networking is that it enables you to meet a lot of people in a short space of time, with the objective of finding a few people who you would like to connect with further. The format is structured, so no need to worry about who to talk to or how to approach them.
Tea & coffee will be provided on arrival and there is chance to stay on for some informal networking after the event.
Chamber Members: £10 Brentwood Connected BID Members: £10 General Admission: £15
Book your place via Ticketsource.

Digital Essex - Digital switchover business webinar
On Wednesday 17 July from 11.30am to 12.30pm via online webinar.
The UK's telephone network is changing. By 2027, traditional phone lines will be replaced by a digital landline service. This means that calls will be made over a broadband line.
If your business uses old analogue lines, you will need to switch your existing communications infrastructure to a digital network. This includes everything from your desk phones to your alarm systems and CCTV.
Digital Essex is collaborating with Ambitious Essex and Farrpoint, to help your business to prepare for the move to digital landlines.
This free webinar will provide you with all the guidance and resources you need to be prepared and future-proof your business, whether you're an SME or a large enterprise.
