The 2020 Mendip Business Awards have been cancelled due to the coronavirus emergency.
Our decision was not an easy one, however, we must ensure public safety during the crisis and could not risk the health of those planning to attend. Businesses who have entered the awards have been offered automatic entry for 2021, a date for these awards is still to be confirmed, but we start planning them soon and look forward to celebrating with you next year.
