Excellence winners to be revealed

The sense of occasion will be heightened with a visit from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who will deliver a keynote speech.

Jon Culshaw, the award-winning impressionist, is set to reprise his successful role as master of ceremonies.

He will announce the winners of nine categories, including Young Business of the Year, Companies with a turnover under 10m, Companies with a turnover between 10m and 50m, Companies with a turnover of more than 50m and Best Company to Work For.

The Yorkshire Post will then disclose the identity of this year's individual award.

The main sponsors are DLA Piper, PwC and Yorkshire Bank. The associate sponsors are O2, Bradford University School of Management, Drax, Manufacturing Advisory Service and thebigword.

Full coverage will appear in next Tuesday's Yorkshire Post business supplement plus audio and video online.
