It is awarded to individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the fields of business, leadership and management – whether through entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, and research or practice development.

CBER is aware that there are people who are doing remarkable work throughout the UK and beyond, but we need CBER members to let us know about them so that we can recognise their achievements.  This is a precious award that is highly coveted and as such is not given out lightly.

Who can put forward nominations?

The nominator will also be asked to provide three referees from a range of backgrounds to demonstrate the national/international impact of the nominees' work.
