Welcome to The Cynon Valley Business Awards and how it all started with a passionate local MP called "Beth Winters" who saw the need to celebrate and support the hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to their businesses. In 2022, Beth restarted the local Business Awards, igniting a spark within the local business community within the area. The response was overwhelming, with businesses experiencing increased social media traffic and gaining much-needed recognition and purpose.

Inspired by the incredible support and unity displayed by the business community, especially during challenging times, Beth Winters asked The Cynon Valley Directory to take on the website services mantle in 2024 and create an even more powerful platform for the awards going forward.

The Cynon Valley Business Awards will hopefully be a symbol of appreciation and pride, encouraging people to support local businesses by shopping locally whenever possible.
