2024年度英国商业大奖主席荘沛榕（Kirsten Johnston）女士在致辞中表示：
The 2024 British Business Awards bring nine award categories that recognise excellence in leadership, partnership, innovation, education, social impact, sustainability, and the commercial endeavours that continue to drive progress. This year, we received a total of 110 applications, showcasing many spectacular entries from a vast range of industries. This is a testament to the diverse sectors in which British businesses are successfully operating in China and proves that British businesses continue to adapt and thrive. We are especially pleased to see a significant increase in applications for categories open to Chinese companies investing in the UK and for business partnerships between our two nations. All great companies strive to grow and succeed, contributing to the strengthening of UK-China business relations.
2024年度英国商业大奖共设九个奖项类别，旨在表彰在领导力、合作伙伴关系、创新、教育、社会影响力、可持续商业等方面的卓越成就。今年我们共收到110份大奖申请，它们展示了来自各行各业的众多优秀案例，证明了在华经营的英国企业在多个领域取得的瞩目成就，也证明了英国企业在不断适应和发展。我们欣喜地看到，面向英国投资的中国企业以及英中两国之间的商业合作项目类申请大幅增加。所有参与者都在努力谋求发展和成功，为促进英中商业合作贡献力量。
Matt Burney CMG, British Consul-General, Shanghai, highlighted the momentum witnessed across green finance, digital trade, and innovation：
英国驻上海总领事包迈岫（Matt Burney CMG）在讲话中指出，英中两国在绿色金融、数字贸易和创新领域展现出了更多的动力。
The British Business Awards present us with a wonderful opportunity to come together, not just to recognise excellence but to celebrate the evolving relationship between the UK and China. I am pleased that our bilateral trade continues to grow. Last year and this, we’ve seen major UK companies continue to expand their presence in China and many Chinese companies invest in the UK. With the momentum we are seeing across green finance, digital trade, and innovation, this is an exciting moment to recognise companies that are driving change and creating value. This evening, we celebrate not just individual achievement but the collaborative spirit that makes the UK-China partnership so resilient and future-focused. I would like to take this moment to congratulate everyone for submitting their work for consideration. Being part of these awards reflects a commitment to excellence and a determination to make a difference.
英国商业大奖不仅旨在表彰卓越成就，更是为了庆祝英中两国关系的持续发展。我很高兴看到双边贸易的持续增长。去年以来，不仅有许多大型英国企业继续扩张在中国的业务，还有许多中国公司也开始投资英国市场。随着绿色金融、数字贸易和创新等领域的活力持续释放，现在是一个表彰推动商业变革和价值创造的重要时刻。今晚，我们庆祝的不仅是成就，还有巩固英中关系、着眼未来发展的协作精神。在此，我向提交大奖申请的企业和个人表示衷心的感谢。参与英国商业大奖，体现了我们对追求卓越的承诺和做出改变的决心。
