The national hunt for the 2004 British Small Business Champion is about to kick-off for its third year. The competition sees the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), Lloyds TSB (LTSB), the Trinity Mirror Group (TMG) and Business in the Community (BiTC) joining forces to search out successful small businesses across the UK. The overall winner - the Champion - will win a tailor-made business trip to New York.
John Emmins, FSB national chairman said: "This is the third year that we have run these awards, which have proved to be exceptionally popular with Britain's small businesses.
"This sends out a clear message that SMEs want, and value, genuine recognition of their achievements and the invaluable contribution they make to their customers, employees and communities across the UK."
The competition is open to well-run small enterprises that have been operating for at least five years, employ fewer than 50 people and offer excellent customer service.
