"As in previous years, I expect to see strong active competition for the Awards and I hope we will see more nominations than ever before. I encourage you all to enter the Awards and help celebrate the success of Britain’s partnership with China, in business and education."

“The time has come to stand up and be counted - to celebrate the achievements of your company in China and to recognise the hard work and enthusiasm of all your employees. Don’t hide your success! Celebrate it with the British Chambers of Commerce in China. I urge you all to get involved, to put yourselves forward for an Award and to let the business community recognise the best of Britain in China."
