The BETA Business Awards were launched in 2004 and have grown to become prestigious industry accolades and a landmark in the equestrian calendar. Categories are designed to reflect the changing face of this vibrant sector and this year sees the introduction of the TSM Marketing Effectiveness Award. Entries for each category are received following a period of nomination from both the B2B and consumer community, and the winners are decided by a panel of independent judges.
