Goole and Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards 2023 | Goole & Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards | 19 February 2023 | Goole Academy, Centenary Rd, Goole DN14 6AN, UK

For 2023, there are 11 different categories for businesses to enter. As in previous years, the independent judging panel will also be asked to select an Overall Business of the Year Award from the entrants and the organising committee will nominate someone to receive the Tim Richardson Lifetime Achievement Award.

Garrey added: “This year we’ve introduced the Hugh Walton Community Champion Award, for businesses that make a tangible difference to their community, in honour of the late Hugh Walton, a local businessman who was a great supporter of the Goole and Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards for many years.

“There’s also a new Rising Star Award to recognise emerging talent within the local business community; those individuals who are tipped to become the leaders of the future.

“There’s a category for every business to enter, regardless of size, the sector it operates in or the length of time it has been established. We want local businesses and employers to shout about their successes. Don’t be afraid to enter more than one category to give yourself an even better chance of making it on to the short list.”
