2021 Awards
We’re delighted to launch our independent North Devon Business Awards for 2021 to celebrate the achievements of all North Devon businesses.
Let’s build on the success of our first awards in 2020 – which attracted 104 entries from which 44 finalists, 11 category winners and the North Devon Business of the Year were selected – to kick off 2021.
2020 was the most challenging year ever for business and many challenges remain. For many businesses, turnover or profits fell while some had to make the difficult decision to make employees redundant. These must not stop you from entering the awards, as we want to recognise the ingenuity and commitment of businesses in overcoming the many unprecedented problems.

The Winner of Winners 2021 will be announced on Friday 18 June 2021.

2021 winners event
We aim to hold a massive North Devon Business Awards winners event to celebrate our 2021 winners and as well as our 2020 winners, who we were unable to honour publicly last year.
If this event is not possible due to government restrictions, we will announce finalists and winners online in a series of live or recorded videos, similar to our 2020 winners video announcements, which received considerable attention.
Fingers crossed!
Independent and transparent business awards
The Business Action Awards are fully independent and transparent to attract entries from as many businesses as possible of all sizes, from all sectors, from all areas of North Devon.
As far as possible, sponsors and judges are separate and neither will enter the awards to guarantee complete impartiality and establish essential credibility.
