A panel of judges made up from top local companies and organisations have drawn up an impressive shortlist of firms and individuals for the annual event on March 14.
The judges, Sarah Berry CEO of Harrogate Town Football Club, Niall Gunn, CEO of Prosperis, James Rycroft Managing Director of VIDA Healthcare and Heather Parry of Expect Events, took a whole day to consider the dozens of entries spread across 10 categories.
Niall Gunn, whose firm is the main sponsor said:
“This really highlights the strength of the business community in the region.
“It was an incredibly difficult task because there were so many exciting companies that are doing great things for the town’s economy and wider community, and so many talented individuals to choose from.
“There was a mixture of traditional well established and well loved firms in the mix as well as some very new and exciting start-ups, he said.
