The Global Business and Authors Awards
26 April 2025
Hilton London, Metropole 225 Edgware Road, London W2 1JU
The Global Business and Authors Awards event is a yearly event organised by the management of TGBAA Group to appreciate and encourage distinguished business owners who have contributed immensely to the economy of their nations, who have influenced positively the younger generation of entrepreneurs.
Honours Selection Committees judge a candidate’s merits based on the nomination put forward. Our nominations are not simply an extended CV, a list of educational achievements, appointments, awards or posts, or a job description. Poor nominations often list these things, and a frequent complaint from the Committees judging the nominations is that the person recommended is “doing no more than their paid job”.
