Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards said: “Congratulations to Wilsons Auctions who have been selected to represent their country as National Champions. They are central to the success of Europe’s strong business community, and have shown the core principles we look for of innovation, ethics and success.”

The next round will require the National Champions to submit a presentation video explaining their business success, with independent judges awarding the top group with the Ruban d’Honneur status who will go on to the Gala Final in 2017.
