A prestigious night of glitz and glamour, the black tie event (which is organised by Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and will next be taking place on Thursday the 12th of December) always proves to be a highlight in the local calendar. Year after year, it shines a spotlight on the very best and brightest from across our city, while also reflecting on all of the incredible things that have been accomplished by our business communities over the past twelve months.
Selected via an extremely robust judging process, the nominees for the 2024 Doncaster Business Awards range from fledging start-ups to SMEs that are punching well above their weight, tenacious entrepreneurs, and, of course, our city’s anchor employers. In addition to this, there are also categories recognising instances of exemplary customer service, fantastic partnership working, trailblazing innovations, inspiring apprentices and more.
Having distinguished themselves with their written entry forms, these finalists will soon have an opportunity to impress the judges further when they progress to the interview stage, after which the shortlists for each category will be whittled down to just a single winner and a highly commended runner-up. Following this, the coveted trophies will then be bestowed to the worthy recipients on Thursday the 12th of December, during an evening of live entertainment, delicious food and triumphant celebration.
Enthusing about the calibre of this year’s finalists, Jade Dyer, Chief Operating Officer at Doncaster Chamber, said: “As always, the competition was incredibly fierce across each and every category this year, demonstrating just how phenomenal our business community is here in Doncaster. However, there is only so much room in the shortlist and so those who hoped to make the cut really had to stand out from the crowd.
“I believe that our finalists have managed to do just that, setting themselves apart with their fantastic entries and considerable achievements. I cannot wait to join them on the night of the awards to celebrate all that they have accomplished and to give them the recognition that they truly deserve.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing sponsors, without whom this wouldn’t be possible. We still have a few categories up for grabs here, so if anyone is interested in sponsoring an award I would urge them to please reach out.”
