Journal editor Graeme Whitfield said: “It’s been a tough few years for businesses everywhere but the entries to the Business Awards show that some are coming out the other side. They also show the resilience, ingenuity and hard work that we expect from businesses in the North East.

“It was a pleasure to read the entries and I can’t wait to meet the nominated companies when the awards return.”

The awards are headline sponsored by Middlesbrough College Group and Sage, with category sponsors Business Durham, CIPD, FW Capital, Lexus, Maven Capital Partners UK LLP, Newcastle City Council, Newcastle University, Nifco, Tees Valley Business, and University of Sunderland.
