2022 SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Award winners revealed

Following our support for the 2021 inaugural event, Willans was incredibly proud to be co-headline sponsors of this year’s SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Awards, which has now recognised the county’s most inspiring businesses and individuals.

The 2022 awards ceremony, which took place at the University of Gloucestershire’s Oxstalls campus, was presented by Steve Knibbs and brought together 300 people from the Gloucestershire business community, after 382 nominations were made by 178 companies earlier this year.

As co-headline sponsors alongside Hazlewoods, we were delighted to be involved in an initiative that celebrates and champions local businesses.

Chris Wills, partner and head of our corporate & commercial team, was involved in the awards judging process and said: “It was a pleasure to be part of showcasing the stories, challenges and successes of SGGBA’s winning businesses and individuals. On a personal note, I really enjoyed meeting those who attended and raising a glass to our collective achievements over the past year.”
