The company with the most votes was to be named ‘National Public Champion’ for the UK on 3rd March 2015.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards has commented: “The public vote is a very important part of the Awards as it gives these entrepreneurial companies another way of showcasing their achievements to a wider audience across Europe. It was a huge success last year, with over 93,000 votes cast.

This year’s videos show some of the most successful and sustainable companies in Europe and we hope that anyone interested in business will take some time to watch the videos, either from their own country or from other countries, and then cast their vote.”

The second public vote will take place between 3rd March 2015 and 16th April 2015 and the result of this final round of voting is the selection of one overall ‘European Public Champion’ who will be announced and awarded at the Awards Gala event in May 2015.
