The shortlist for the inaugural Birmingham Post Business Awards 2010 has, after much discussion and deliberation, been decided and eg solutions plc (eg) the AIM listed back office optimisation software company has been shortlisted in the International Trade & Export category.Over the last 12 months eg has successfully demonstrated the value of its eg operational intelligence® software suite in new territories including South Africa and Norway.

More than 100 businesses, including some of the biggest and smallest in the West Midlands have put themselves forward for the 11 categories so the judges really had their work cut out to whittle the selection down to the cream of the crop.

Staffordshire based eg also entered the ‘Company of The Year Award’ and the judges announced that as so many companies put forward excellent applications for this category they have decided to consider all of the short-listed companies for this prestigious award.

The winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner on Monday 20 September 2010 at The International Convention Centre.

Elizabeth Gooch, Chief Executive Officer of eg solutions plc said: “International trade has enabled eg to trade through and grow despite the difficulties in our core UK market.  Once again it is really motivating that the benefits of our export efforts have been recognised by being shortlisted.”
