The closing date for entries is Thursday 22 March 2007.
Allowing the best of British businesses to showcase their achievements and benchmark their successes against firms and bodies of all types, the combined turnover of entrants in 2006’s national programme was £366 billion with a profit of £32billion, while it represented 1.8 million UK employees and 250,000 personnel overseas.
