  We are delighted to announce that D-ENERGi have been shortlisted as a finalist for the Small to medium business of the year – at the National Business Awards and we couldn’t be more excited! After a successful application stage, we now face the second round of judging before finding out whether we’ve been successful on the awards night, which will be held on Tuesday 14th November 2017, at the prestigious Grosvenor House in London. Zico Ahmed Director of D-ENERGi stated “We are very proud to have been shortlisted for this award as we are a relatively small energy player in our sector, compared the ‘big six’. This is fantastic recognition for the whole team and our commitment to offering a service to exceed our customers expectations” The finalists were chosen from the hundreds of businesses that entered or were nominated across 18 award categories. Tom Broughton, Group Brand Director of the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards said: “Given the economic uncertainty over the past year, it is inspiring more than ever to see British businesses prosper. Through a thorough and comprehensive judging process, this year’s selected finalists demonstrate exceptional quality and diversity across a range of business sectors within the UK. We are now looking forward to the next step of the process and meeting some of the finalists face-to-face.” Conor McGinn MP recently hosted a reception for the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards at the House of Commons. This enabled finalists to meet fellow entrants, the National Business Awards Advisory Board members, judges (who they will present to in September) and sponsors of each category.
