“We are excited to be organising the fourth edition of TheStadiumBusiness Awards,” comments Ian Nuttall, Founder of TheStadiumBusiness Awards.
“TheStadiumBusiness Awards were created to help recognise achievement, creativity, innovation and leadership across our sector, and I hope we’ve gone a small way to achieving that in our first three editions.”
“We were delighted with the number of entries received for 2012,” continues Nuttall, “And would like to once again encourage the stadium sector to send us their entries when nominations open in December.”
