The event is sponsored and organised by top 100 UK law firm Ward Hadaway in partnership with the Yorkshire Post.

Ward Hadaway has itself seen its operation in Yorkshire grow strongly since it opened its Leeds office in summer 2008.

Martin Hulls, senior partner at Ward Hadaway Leeds, said: “We are really looking forward to Friday and what promises to be a great celebration for Yorkshire business success.

“In many respects, the companies who have already made it into the Yorkshire Fastest 50 and will be present at the awards are already winners for achieving continued growth during a very challenging time for the economy. Those who walk away with the awards on Friday will be truly worthy of them.”

Awards will be given to the fastest growing small, medium and large companies in the region. An overall award will also be handed to Yorkshire’s fastest growing business of the year.

Finance Yorkshire chief executive Alex McWhirter will deliver the keynote speech.
