Celebrating business success in North-east
THE Evening Gazette, The Journal and Business Link are passionate about business in our region and we want you to be too. The nebusiness awards are now in their ninth year of the regional format and at their heart are the aims of recognising achievement, encouraging excellence and celebrating success.
These aims are shared by the Passionate People, Passionate Places campaign which promotes our region as a great place to live, study, work and invest. Part of the success of the campaign has been down to businesses “talking up” North-east England and we need this to continue. To get involved in Passionate People, Passionate Places visit www.northeastengland.co.uk/ambassadors.
The next phase will focus on the region’s business strengths and letting the world know about our success stories. Entering these awards is a fantastic way to play your part. See below for details.
The aim of the awards
The awards aim to recognise achievement, to encourage excellence and to celebrate success.
The sponsors
The awards are sponsored by a whole host of companies and organisations. The sheer quality and the blue-chip nature of the sponsors adds to the prestige and gravitas of the awards.
The judging
Each award has a separate judging panel with an appropriate chairman, nominated by the award sponsor. The decision of each judging panel is final and, while every effort will be made to give feedback to entrants, no specific correspondence will be entered into.
