    The shortlists for the first ever Stray Ferret Business Awards have been revealed this morning.

    They feature some of the leading businesses from across the Harrogate district, as well as the up-and-coming stars of the future.

    All the entries were put before the independent panel of judges, each leaders in their field: Marcus Boardall, CEO of Reed Boardall, Black Sheep Brewery CEO Charlene Lyons, Cloud Nine founder and CEO Martin Rae, and James Farrar, COO of York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership.

    Tamsin O'Brien, director of the Stray Ferret, said:

    "We had well over 100 entries and the judges had a full day of discussion as they worked through each category. There was some heated debate and they had to take some difficult decisions to whittle the entries down and select our finalists.
    "For its inaugural year, we were thrilled that the awards attracted such strong entries. I'd like to thank the judges for giving us their time and being so thorough in their deliberations.
    "We're all looking forward to the big night where the winners will be unveiled."


    The businesses and individuals face a nervous wait until the Stray Ferret Business Awards, sponsored by Prosperis, on Thursday, March 9. In a spectacular night at Pavilions of Harrogate, the winners will be announced, with each category sponsored by a leading local firm.

    Tickets are on sale now for the event, with the early bird price of £85 plus VAT per ticket available until February 9. Tables of 10 are £765 plus VAT.
