2016 Business Masters shortlist announced

THE best of Yorkshire businesses will come together on March 17 for the 2016 Business Masters Awards, sponsored by Investec Wealth & Investment.

38 busineses have today been named on the shortlist for the 11 awards, with the winners being named at TheBusinessDesk.com event at New Dock Hall, Leeds.

Six companies – Harrison Spinks, Kings Security, Lambert Engineering, Premier Technical Services Group, Spooner Industries and Yorkshire Building Society – have been shortlisted in more than one category.

The judging panel was chaired by TheBusinessDesk.com Yorkshire editor Alex Turner. He was joined by CBI regional director Lucy Thornycroft,  UKTI regional director Mark Robson, Sheffield Chamber of Commerce chief executive Richard Wright, Mike Thornton from RSM and Steve Crow from Clarion.

Mr Turner said: “We had a record number of entries, and the judges had nearly 150 entries to assess. It was a task made much harder by the quality and variety of those entries which meant that many strong and successful companies didn’t make the shortlist.

“The businesses on the shortlist have all proven they are outstanding and we should be proud of them.”

The awards, which are being sponsored by RSM, Clarion and UKTI, will be held on Thursday, March 17, at New Dock Hall in Leeds and hosted by BBC presenter Dan Walker.

Tickets are now on sale, priced £135+VAT each, or £1,200+VAT for a table. To book, contact Catherine Godsland at catherine@outthereevents.com.
