The deadline for entries has been extended to 5pm Friday 3rd July.

Its still not too late to enter and be recognised for your achievements in animal welfare.

What are the Good Business awards?

The Awards are open to all companies in the UK in the Cosmetics, Fashion and Food industries that show innovation and excellence in advancing animal welfare. For companies large and small the Awards acknowledge and promote those that go the extra mile to include animal welfare as part of their ethical business policy.

The awards command significant national and regional press coverage and we work in conjunction with media partners for each industry – SPC magazine in cosmetics, Drapers in fashion and caterersearch.com in the food industry.

Businesses, large and small, across the country, have put the welfare of animals at the heart of their business and these awards recognise their inspiring and commendable achievements. The winners will be announced on Wednesday 7 October 2009 at a prestigious Cocktail and Canapés Soiree held at the beautiful venue One Marylebone, London.

Public houses

We felt it was time to recognise the significant share of the eating out market is catered to by pub food so we developed a new award for pubs serving food.
