Eloise Idoine of Nottingham has been shortlisted for the “Networker of the Year” with the PRESTIGIOUS MBCC AWARDS 2022

Eloise Idoine has been named as a finalist for the networker of the Year category at this year’s Multicultural Business & Community Champion (MBCC) Awards. Recognised for outstanding service to the business sector and their community, Eloise Idoine has been shortlisted following a fierce public vote.

 

Having received record breaking numbers of over 700 nominations and 25,000 public votes, 2022’s MBCC Awards have made a triumphant return to the awards season. From the finalists chosen, 15 champions will be crowned at the glitzy event in November, celebrating the unsung heroes who have gone above and beyond in corporate business and their local communities.

Amongst these is Eloise Idoine, who was nominated for her contributions to networking across the Midlands, predominantly in the East Midlands (Nottingham, Leicester, Derby). Eloise Idoine, Business Owner at Rialto Training said:

 

“I am so thrilled and humbled to be nominated for Networker of the Year at the MBCC Awards. Despite having only begun my own networking journey over the last couple of years, networking has now become an integral part of my life and has also been the foundation on which I’ve built my business!

 

After finding a passion for networking, I was keen to show others who they could combine this with LinkedIn, as well as other free resources available to them, so that they too could make meaningful connections with potential clients, both online and face-to-face.

 

Now, I worked with several local networking groups to helping them grow their membership base, host/co-host business mastermind events, and help other businesses, including not-for-profits, to make new connections and to get the most value from the time they spend networking.”

 

The MBCC Awards are headed up by Dr. Tru Powell and Zoe Bennett, who deliver these awards in order to celebrate and recognise individuals who have done exceptional things within the business world and their communities.

Personal branding expert, Dr. Tru Powell, at the helm of the event, the MBCC Awards continues to be a celebration unlike any other. Tru is delighted that Eloise Idoine joins the finalist list, commenting:

“I am delighted that the shortlist for this year’s MBCC Awards have been announced and I’ve been truly blown away by the stories of the incredible nominees that were put forward. Everyone at the awards are ecstatic about the response the awards have received this year, showing just how important these heroes are to their colleagues and communities alike.

 

“It was one of our toughest selections to date; however, this year’s finalists are some of the strongest yet. Our judges will have to make some difficult decisions when it comes to choosing our champions, but I look forward to seeing who is crowned at our ceremony in November.”

The awards will be judged by an expert panel including the likes of presenter Adil Ray OBE, David Whitely, singer/songwriter Jamelia, and new judge Marverine Cole, who will sit alongside business titans including The Football Association’s Dal Dorrach, The Prince’s Trust’s Jonathan Townsend, The Business Desk’s Lee-J Walker, Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce’s Chief Executive Officer, Henrietta Brealey, Dr Carmen Watson from Pertemps and newly appointed Director of Communications at the LEP, Satnam Rana. Also joining them are award-winning entrepreneurs Cordell Jeffers, Jodie Cook, and Justice Williams MBE, as well as industry & community leaders Keith Shayaam-Smith and Prof Monder Ram OBE.

Taking place on 5 November at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, and will be supported by headline sponsor Birmingham City Council. To learn more about the awards and some of the categories included in this year’s ceremony, head over to: https://mbccawards.com/
