Celebrating the best of business in the region
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN
HULL and East Yorkshire’s resilience and rapid response to ongoing economic challenges will be the toast of the 2022 Hull Live Business
Awards.
The ability to bounce back under huge ongoing pressures and continued uncertainty will form the basis of many an entry as nominations open for the calendar highlight.
A glittering ceremony on November 17 awaits, as success, effort and innovation is celebrated by the community, building on the stories documented via dedicated website Business Live and the Hull Live and Hull Daily Mail titles.
Hull Live editor Jamie Macaskill said: “Having handled Brexit uncertainty, the impact of a global pandemic and now being challenged by a recovery dogged by high energy prices, supply issues and a cost of living crisis, our business community continues to amaze and inspire.
“We’ve seen huge strides being made in tech development alongside significant progress across the traditional industries that make Hull and East Yorkshire the great place to do business that we know it is.
“With major inward investment from new and existing operators continuing to flow, the freeport opportunity and the ever-expanding work in renewables and decarbonisation, we’re more than holding our own - and many are thriving not just surviving.
“Last year’s return to a live event was quite the celebration, and I can’t wait to see that spirit returned as we hear of the amazing feats and excellent endeavours undertaken.”
A total of 14 awards will be presented, with entries open now.
Full criteria can be found on the dedicated Business Awards website, www.hlbusinessawards.co.uk.
Hull Live Business Awards give companies of all sizes, from pioneering start-ups to the powerhouses which drive the region’s economy, a chance to be recognised and proud of the work they do.
The categories represent businesses from all sectors and industries, from technology and innovation to green energy and manufacturing.
And it’s not just businesses that are celebrated.
There is recognition for individual talent, be it an entrepreneur who has launched a business and grown it successfully, or a star employee who has stood out from all others.
The closing date for nominations is Sunday, September 25, with all applications made via www.hlbusinessawards.co.uk.
Some are open to self nomination, while lifetime contribution is a closed category and not open for entries.
Tickets are also on sale now for the event, held once again at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Hull.
Reach Recruitment returns as headline sponsor for a second year.
Benjamin Davis-rice, managing director, said: “Last year was a great success, both on a business level and being part of the whole Hull business community.
“It was a great platform for us to get our name out there and to be associated with such high-profile businesses, and for me it was a great opportunity to get more involved and give back something.
“The lifetime achievement award is a fantastic thing to be part of too, and it is really important we continue to support businesses and the people involved in them.”
