Leadership is vital to any business success, large or small.
The Bury Free Press West Suffolk Business Award for Business Leader of the Year is one of our most prized accolades.
The award is sponsored by Greene & Greene, a leading firm of solicitors based in Bury St Edmunds.
Its lawyers advise individuals and businesses all over the UK based on many years of experience in their field.
Mark Daly, a partner at the firm, said: “We collaborate with a variety of businesses, from startups to national and international enterprises.
“This means we frequently interact with business leaders across numerous sectors.
“Being a long-established local business ourselves, this category felt like a natural fit for us.”
The Business Leader of the Year Award recognises the business personality who best represents achievement.
The award acknowledges the winner’s sustained achievements within the business community.
Rachel Turner-George, senior associate, said: “A strong business leader can motivate others, foster a dynamic culture, and clearly articulate the company’s vision.
“Effective leaders exhibit self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and a commitment to the success of the entire team.
“Leadership is vital to any business’ success, and culture is equally as important as financial performance.”
Mr Daly added: “We are thrilled to sponsor the awards. The team and I are eager to review the nominations and select our winner.
“It will undoubtedly be a tough decision.”
Greene & Greene focuses on providing constructive, practical advice to clients, regularly attracting new clients who have been using large firms in London.
