Clearwater International joins as headline sponsor for Business of the Year Awards 2024
Clearwater International has joined TheBusinessDesk.com as the fifth headline sponsor of the Yorkshire Business of the Year awards.
Clearwater will also be sponsoring the CEO of the Year and Small Business award categories.
Richard Goldsack, partner at Clearwater International, said, “Yorkshire businesses continue to show ambition and growth. We have advised some really innovative and forward-thinking clients within the region at Clearwater, so we are thrilled to support the Business of the Year awards with The Business Desk. We look forward to celebrating the region and these fantastic organisations at this year’s awards.”
The corporate financial advisory firm joins CMS, LDC, RBC Brewin Dolphin and Verlingue as headline sponsor. Gilbanks is a category sponsor.
The awards now feature a new, rigorous judging procedure. Judges will visit entrants over the next few months to meet leaders and staff and see business operations for themselves to create their shortlist.
Each shortlisted company will then be invited to give a presentation to the judging panel who will select the category winners.
The winners are announced at a gala dinner at the Queen’s Hotel in Leeds on Thursday 29 February 2024.
Entries for the awards close on Friday 7 July. You can download an entry form here.
