Is it all routine for us after all these years? Far from it - the preparation of the data alone is the essence of what our people achieve throughout the year, what defines us as a company and how we move together into the future.
We are delighted that in this, our 30th year in the competition, we are once again on the judges' shortlist, along with 450 other companies who have already impressed in all five competition categories out of 4,600 nominees.
This year's National Ball in October will once again be held under the motto 'We ask you to step forward'. Every business owner is eager to see who will be presented with one of the special awards on the night. This year it will be the #gala100 of the Oskar Patzelt Foundation. We would like to thank the board members and staff of the Oskar Patzelt Foundation for their many years of commitment, as well as the volunteer jurors who put their heart and soul into judging the companies and putting Germany's small and medium-sized businesses in the spotlight on this evening. With the expansion of the Board into a new generation, the Foundation is also moving into the future!
