SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards

SGGLA 2019

Launched in 2018 as part of SoGlos’s 10-year anniversary celebrations, the first year saw more than 300 leading local businesses nominate themselves across the 20 categories, with a chosen shortlist of the best 200 going to public vote throughout April 2018. The level of interest, support and excitement was phenomenal – you can’t have missed the ‘vote for us’ posts on social media, badges on websites and posters across the county – with 20,966 votes flooding in by the closing date.

Culminating in an exciting awards evening, the SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards brought the iconic Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester – and social media to life – on 16 May 2018, with 300 guests coming together for this fun and important new addition to the county’s business calendar, described by guests as ‘electric’, ‘unique’ and ‘incredible event to be part of’.

Plans for the SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards 2019 are well underway, building on the same hugely successful format: including a call for nominations, shortlisting process by SoGlos judges, an exciting two-month public voting stage; with the grand finale, an anticipated live reveal awards evening – expected to take place in May 2019.

Around 300 local business owners and senior decision makers will enjoy an evening of networking, supper, drinks, music and entertainment in what is, again, set to be one of the most memorable business events of the year.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIESIn 2019, there will be the unique opportunity for a headline sponsor and category sponsors to benefit from the SGGLA success.
