Bedrijvenkring Urk has announced the six nominees for two prestigious entrepreneur awards. Annabel, Bella Bodyfashion, and Extra Verte are in the running to win the title of Middenstander van het jaar. Meanwhile, Jonkers Bouwmetaal, RapiD engineering, and Piet Brouwer Elektrotechniek have been nominated for the coveted Onderneming van het jaar award.
The winners will be revealed at the annual spring meeting of Bedrijvenkring Urk (BKU) scheduled for Thursday, March 27. The jury has already visited all the nominated companies to gain a deeper understanding of their operations. The ultimate winners will be chosen based on these visits.
Aside from the entrepreneur awards, the spring meeting will also feature the presentation of the Participatieprijs and the award for the Neatest Company. The winners of Onderneming van het jaar and the Participatieprijs will represent Urk at the prestigious Flevopenningengala.
Last year's recipients of the awards were Ocean Company (Onderneming van het jaar), Baarssen Visspecialiteiten (Middenstander van het jaar), Hartman Marine Group (Neatest Company), and De Prinses Beatrixschool (Participatieprijs).
