The inaugural Business Day Supplier Development Awards seeks to highlight companies that have supplier development initiatives that support and develop the entrepreneurs they do business with.

The awards are designed to shine a light on what is working in the space, celebrate successes and share best practice.

An initiative of Business Day, in partnership with Fetola, Cold Press Media and TISO Events, the awards will provide high-profile, national exposure and recognition to the finalists, as well as ongoing networking opportunities for businesses wanting to make connections with, and learn from, key stakeholders in Supplier Development.

The initiative aims to create a space where ESD practitioners can share learning experiences, a space that supports peer-to-peer learning, and to create a national benchmark for best practice in supplier development.

Closing date for applications is 16 April.
