Tonight sees the Northern Lincolnshire Business Awards celebrated.
Organised by Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce, with Business Live as media partner, winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Scunthorpe’s The Baths Hall. The 2023 event brings a Les Miserables theme, complete with West End performers and local starlets on stage.
Late March saw the shortlist revealed, and here we remind ourselves who is in the running.

Speaking at the time, Anne Tate, northern Lincolnshire manager at the Chamber, said: “The judges were very impressed with the overall standard and spread of entries between the sectors, which was good to see this year.
“The numbers were back to pre-pandemic levels, in fact slightly above 2019, which bodes well for the area and for the future of business.”
The Forrester Boyd Award for Business Excellence also awaits an overall winner, with judges deciding based on all nominations.
