It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome you all to the 2024 Oxfordshire Business Awards Dinner. It is a real pleasure to have been invited by Oxford Brookes to host the 28th OXBA Dinner here at the JHB Building and what a fantastic venue it is.

The Oxfordshire Business Awards Dinner remains a prominent event in the Oxfordshire business calendar, providing a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of local businesses once more in this annual celebration of Oxfordshire business. I would like to thank the team here at Oxford Brookes for their support towards making OXBA a remarkable success.

On behalf of the Sponsors, can I wish all the finalists a successful evening and I hope that as in past years this allows your business to go from strength to strength.

An evening like this cannot take place without a huge amount of effort from many people over many months.  The first meeting in the planning cycle for this event takes place a little more than a week after the previous year’s event.  So may I, on your behalf, thank everyone involved in the planning and organising of this event.  Particular thanks to Jane Reeve for all of her hard work in bringing this event together.

Finally, I must extend my thanks to the Sponsors of the 2024 Oxfordshire Business Awards. This event owes its success to the invaluable support and contributions provided by our sponsors. Their generous financial assistance and dedicated time investment have been instrumental in making this event a reality.

I hope you all have an enjoyable evening!
