North Down Business Awards (previously Bangor Business Awards)
The North Down Business Awards are now in their second year and continue to go from strength to strength. It’s worth establishing that the original concept of the Bangor Business Awards started in 2000, so this is also the 15th year of consecutive business awards.
Over these past 15 years, Bangor Chamber of Commerce has worked with many sponsor partners, several of whom have been with us since those very early days and who still support us today. Their belief in the Chamber of Commerce to consistently deliver this vitally important annual event has never wavered. We also welcome new sponsors who want to get involved. All input helps in moving this important business event forward and diversify with the current business trends. As a Chamber, Bangor has delivered and managed the awards with the support of Bangor & Holywood Town Centre Management (up until their closure this year), and from 2014, we expanded to include our colleagues in Holywood Chamber of Commerce. Resulting in the fact that the awards are now known as the North Down Business Awards.
