The 289 best businesses from 32 countries across Europe have been named 'National Winners' in the 2017-18 European Business Awards, Europe's largest business competition, sponsored by RSM.
The successful companies were chosen from 2898 businesses previously identified as 'Ones to Watch' in a list of business excellence published in December, and were selected as National Winners by a panel of independent judges including senior business leaders, politicians and academics as the best business in their country in the Awards' categories. They will now go on to represent their country in the final stage of the competition.
Jean Stephens, CEO of RSM International, the sixth largest global audit, tax and consulting network and lead sponsor of the awards, said: "Our congratulations go to both the 'Ones to Watch' and 'National Winners' from across Europe. Such thriving businesses are typical of those companies that RSM firms work with, so it is encouraging to see such growth and prosperity. On behalf of RSM, I look forward to welcoming you to the Gala in May and wish you the best of luck in the final round and for your continued business success."
