Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards: A chance to join the brightest and best
The brightest and best businesses in Yorkshire will be honoured at a major awards ceremony later this year.
Nominations are open until October 1 for The Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards 2025, celebrating the successes of our region's businesses of every size and industry.
The popular black-tie event celebrating business excellence across the region has been running since 2006 and for the past few years has been hosted at Headingley Stadium.
This year it will instead be held opposite the Royal Armouries at the New Dock Hall, which has hosted the event in previous years.
The Yorkshire Post Business Awards will take place on November 12. All categories are free to enter.
There are 16 categories to nominate companies or individuals for, including Apprentice of the Year, Best Business Start-Up and Business Leader/Entrepreneur of the Year.
Other categories include an Employee Health & Wellbeing Award; Family Business; Hospitality Business of the Year, an Innovation Award and International Business of the Year.
There will also be awards for the region’s best small, medium-sized and large business, as well as a Manufacturing Award and a prize for the Rural Business of the Year.
Other categories include a Sustainability Award and a Technology & Digital Award, while a Lifetime Achievement Award will also be presented on the night.
More information about each award and how to make nominations can be found at www.yorkshirebusinessexcellence.co.uk.
Event sponsors so far this year include Re Food UK, RTC North, Sovereign Health Care, Uyare and Impulse Decisions. For sponsorship enquiries, email [email protected].
Maria L’Ala, Regional Sales Manager at ReFood, said her organisation is pleased to be involved with the event.
She said: “As the UK’s leading food waste recycler, we’re committed to helping businesses minimise their environmental impact, cut their carbon footprint and improve their sustainability credentials.
“With Simpler Recycling legislation now in force to guide the safe, secure and traceable disposal of commercial food waste, sponsoring The Yorkshire Post Business Awards provides the opportunity to raise awareness of new requirements, explain the widespread benefits and celebrate the companies already leading the way.”
Chris Burn, The Yorkshire Post’s head of business and features, said: “Our business awards is always a highlight in our calendar and regularly attracts upwards of 300 people to celebrate the best of the region’s companies and the individuals behind them.
"We always receive hundreds of entries across the different categories and I’m hopeful there may be even more this year given it is taking place for the 20th time.”
