Business leaders and leading businesses only in The Journal

Apr 22 2008 By The Journal

THIS summer will see the publication of two more major supplements in The Journal celebrating the talents of companies and individuals in the North East.

On Thursday, July 10, we will be publishing our highly-prestigious Top 250 North East Companies supplement, which is well established as required reading for the region’s business community.

It will be the 31st year that The Journal has published this supplement and this year it promises to be bigger and better than ever.

What started out as the Top 100 in the 1970s has grown steadily over the years and became the Top 250 for the first time in 2007.

As usual, the listing will be researched and compiled by the experts at Durham University Business School. And – after an eventful 12 months for the region’s business community – there could be plenty of movement towards the top of the league.

Before that, though, there is another prestigious publication to look out for.

On June 20, we will be publishing a free magazine with The Journal showcasing 500 of the most influential people in the North East.

We are currently carrying out exhaustive research into compiling the 500 names and this major publication will provide biographical details of every one of them.

We are looking at those individuals who:

:: Hold positions in companies and organisations with the power, influence or ability to greatly assist others in the North East;

:: Lead companies that, because of their size or what they do, are of great importance to the region;

:: Hold positions of influence in the public sector, in religious communities, public office, sport, culture and other important sectors.

It promises to be another must-read supplement from The Journal which will become a valued source of reference for people in the region.
