Some of the best businesses in Yorkshire are honoured today as the shortlist for this year’s Excellence in Business Awards is published. Following an exhaustive judging process the final list ahead of this year’s event has finally agreed upon.
The winners will be unveiled in a glittering ceremony on November 2 at Leeds’s New Dock Hall.
BBC Breakfast and Watchdog broadcaster Steph McGovern is this year’s presenter with more exciting speakers to be announced in the coming days. The shortlist was drawn up by the event’s many sponsors this year with a final judging session held at The Yorkshire Post’s offices on Whitehall Road.
Among those on the panel were Juliette Healey, Yorkshire agent for the Bank of England, DLA Piper managing partner of the Leeds office Allison Page and Andrew Devonald, senior business development manager with Grant Thornton, as well as Mark Casci, business editor of The Yorkshire Post.
Ms Healey said: “Entries have been incredibly diverse but were all focused on developing for the future. Some have emphasised innovation and technology while and others on how to be best in class on delivering traditional services. Some of these business might be small today, but they all have ambition to grow.”
