Leaders Presents, the organiser of the Middle East Business Achievement (Meba) Awards, announced that the deadline for submission of entries to the awards programme has been extended to September 10.

The unprecedented number of entries prompted organisers to extend the due date, to accommodate requests from interested companies and individuals vying for recognition in nine categories, according to a spokesperson.

Awards for the nine categories include marketing strategy, recommended employer, environmental contribution, corporate social responsibility leader, best small business, best family business, young entrepreneur, businessman and businesswoman of the year.-TradeArabia News Service
