The finalists for this year’s Gloucestershire Live Business Awards have been chosen.
Last week our judges - include senior editor for Gloucestershire, Rachael Sugden - met at headline sponsors Randall & Payne’s headquarters at Shurdington to whittle down the entries to a shortlist.
Representatives from each business on the shortlist will be invited to the awards ceremony.
The winners will be revealed at The Centaur, Cheltenham Racecourse on October 10.
Over the next six weeks we will be profiling the finalists in each category, sharing their stories and why they have been chosen.
