Yorkshire Business of the Year Awards: deadline extended

The deadline for submissions to the Yorkshire Business of the Year awards has been extended to the end of day on 12 July.
Several requests for extra time, and in an effort to make the awards as comprehensive as possible, TheBusinessDesk.com, award sponsors Tudor International Freight, RBC Brewin Dolphin, and Verlingue, and principal partner Campaigner have decided to allow the extra period for entries. You can download entry forms here.
Site visits to decide the shortlist will take place between 3 September and 22 November. Each shortlisted company will then be invited to give a presentation in Leeds in January 2025 to the judging panel who will select the category winners.
The awards will be presented at a gala dinner at New Dock Hall on 20 February 2025.
Yorkshire editor Andrew Staples said, “We already have many excellent entries across our 15 categories, but we have also received requests for an extension from excellent firms who were unable to submit their entries.
“The Yorkshire Business of the Year Awards are the premier regional business accolades. We want every company in the Yorkshire and Humber region to have a chance to be shortlisted and to win. For this reason, we have decided to extend the deadline to all potential entrants to close of business on 12 July.”
