Get your business registered for this year’s Leamington Business Awards
May 10 is the cut-off date to register for the Leamington Business Awards 2015, a showcase of the town’s industrial and commercial talent, culminating in a glittering ceremony on October 16 at the Royal Pump Room.
Although businesses within the Leamington boundary have to register themselves, it is the people of the town who will have the final say on who receives the awards when voting opens on May 18.

“Last year was a great success, but we want more businesses to register this year.”
