Mar 11 2010 By The Journal

THE first winners in the North East's biggest and best business awards will be named tonight.

The first of four awards presentation dinners in the nebusiness awards, organised by The Journal and Evening Gazette in association with Business Link, will be held in Durham.

There will be prizes for the winners of 11 categories at the Durham and Wearside heat of the awards at the Ramside Hall Hotel in Durham with finalists from firms of all sizes and types vying for the sought after accolades.

The dinner is the first of three sub-regional heats, Tyneside and Northumberland and Tees Valley awards will be presented later this month, before the regional winners are announced at the grand final at the Ramside Hall hotel in Sedgefield in April.

David Simms, managing director of ncjMedia, said: "This year it is more important than ever that we continue to provide a platform for North East businesses to showcase their strengths and achievements.

"The nebusiness awards for 2009 will once again prove that there are hundreds of businesses across the region doing great things, achieving impressive results and demonstrating world-class qualities, despite the global credit crunch."
