Shortlisted firms gather ahead of Yorkshire Business Masters Awards 2019

More than 60 business delegates joined TheBusinessDesk.com’s pre-award drinks evening last week ahead of the upcoming Yorkshire Business Masters Awards.

The pre-awards drinks event, held at Gusto on Greek Street in Leeds on Tuesday, was open to individuals from shortlisted firms for the annual awards ceremony, which will be held at The Queens on March 28. This year’s event is sponsored by Lupton Fawcett, Clarion, Armstrong Watson, Rahman Ravelli, Together Money and Reward Finance.

The black-tie awards evening will be hosted by the BBC’s Danni Hewson. More than 250 delegates will be in attendance and tickets are selling fast. It will also raise funds for TheBusinessDesk.com’s charity of the year – Leeds Community Foundation.

Kayley Worsley, Yorkshire editor at TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “It was fantastic to meet the shortlisted firms and representatives of the this year’s sponsors ahead of the awards evening next month. It was a chance to network with each other in a relaxed setting, and wish each other good luck. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the region’s business achievements at the awards ceremony in March. Thanks again to our judges and sponsors this year.”
