    A judging panel made up of leaders from top local businesses and organisations have shortlisted finalists for the Stray Ferret Business Awards 2023, sponsored by Prosperis.

    It wasn't a simple task, with more than 100 entries across 10 categories, which highlighted the strength of the local business community.

    Our four judges were Marcus Boardall, chief executive of Reed Boardall, Black Sheep Brewery chief executive Charlene Lyons, Cloud Nine founder and chief executive Martin Rae, and James Farrar, chief operating officer of York and North Yorkshire LEP.

    The judging panel met at West Park Hotel in Harrogate in the morning and debated well into the afternoon.

    On Friday, January 20, the Stray Ferret will announce the shortlist for each of the 10 categories.

    From growing businesses to the up-and-coming stars of the future, the categories are designed to allow businesses to showcase their strengths.

    The glittering, black tie awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, March 9 at Pavilions of Harrogate. To book your tickets, click or tap here.
