Public recognition for making positive impact

Derby LIVE is celebrating after being named as the Public’s Business of the Year following a public vote.

The win at the Lots for Tots Awards follows closely on the heels of Derby LIVE and Little Wolf Entertainment’s record-breaking production of Cinderella receiving nominations in two categories at the UK Pantomime Association’s Pantomime Awards.

The Lots for Tots Awards recognise and celebrate the exceptional businesses and individuals who make a positive impact on the lives of families throughout Derbyshire.

The Public’s Business of the Year Award specifically honours family-focused organisations that work with or support families and children in the Derbyshire area.

Councillor Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council and cabinet member for city centre, regeneration, strategy and policy, said: “Derby LIVE has been rightly recognised for their tireless work, bringing vibrancy and family fun to Derby. I’m so proud of the entire team.

“This recognition, together with the incredible success of Cinderella, fuels our passion for providing these events and we can’t wait to share the magic of Dick Whittington this year.”
