What Are the Brilliance Awards™?
The Brilliance Awards™ are the original global business recognition programme established in 2014 and operated without interruption by BOC Global Events and Training Group. They exist to celebrate outstanding organisations, teams, and individuals whose work delivers real impact, genuine innovation, and measurable results across industries and borders.
Since their founding year, the Brilliance Awards™ have grown into one of the most respected recognition platforms in the world built not on claims of prestige but on 13 years of documented, independently verifiable delivery.
The Brilliance Awards™ serves as the parent brand for a growing family of recognition programmes — each celebrating excellence within its own distinct discipline, each operated to the same standard of independence, integrity, and genuine commitment to the organisations and individuals it recognises.
Our flagship programme: the International Brilliance Awards™ — has held annual black-tie gala ceremonies in London every year since 2014. It has recognised over 1,000 organisations from 32+ countries across 50+ industries. It has maintained a 100% independent blind judging process through every entry in every cycle. And it has built a winning community that includes some of the most respected names in global business: DHL Global Forwarding, AstraZeneca, bp, Virgin Media O2, Allianz, Lloyd’s, Lenovo, Turkcell, Paysafe, and Burger King UK, alongside government authorities, specialist consultancies, fast-growing businesses, and small teams doing extraordinary work across industries and borders.
That is what the Brilliance Awards™ is. That is what it has been since 2014. And that is what it will continue to be.
