Following their success in the East Midlands Chamber 2017 business awards, R.E.A.L. Education has gone on to win a regional award from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC).

R.E.A.L Education, which re-engages children and young people with learning, has won the Education and Business Partnership award for the BCC East Midlands region.

This award success now means they are finalists in the BCC national awards, the winners of which will be announced at a gala dinner at The Brewery, London, on 30 November.

R.E.A.L have also been invited to attend the annual general meeting of East Midlands Chamber, at Horsley Lodge, Derby, on 2 November, to receive a certificate commemorating the regional success.

Scott Knowles, Chief Executive at East Midlands Chamber, said: “Congratulations to R.E.A.L. Education for going on to achieve further success in the BCC’s regional awards.

“The Chamber awards are the only business awards in the region delivered purely by business for business and are also the only awards which offer the winners the chance to share their stories on the national stage.

“We wish them the best of luck as they go on to represent the East Midlands at the national awards.”

Announcing the regional winners Francis Martin, President of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “Our judges are always impressed by the high standard of submissions. The finalists in the Chamber Business Awards represent the best of this country’s entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and hard work.
