Celebrating our 2020 winners of the BID Awards 2020, the shining stars of a difficult year
Back in January, for the third year, we opened nominations for the Cotswold Life Cheltenham BID Awards. Open to businesses in the Cheltenham BID zone, we were on the look out for the cream of the crop across our 10 categories. From the young individuals setting fantastic examples, to the go-to pubs, salons offering all of your health and beauty needs to the place you always go for a tea or coffee – we wanted to hear about those that you thought were deserving of these accolades.
During the first Covid-19 national lockdown we paused our judging process. For two weeks in late September, we re-opened nominations and are delighted to be able to be able to announce our thoroughly deserving 2020 winning and highly commended businesses and individuals.
