Bondholders in the mix for regional awards

Several Marketing Derby Bondholders have been shortlisted for awards recognising the best firms in the region.

The finalists for the East Midlands Business of the Year Awards, organised by the Business Desk, have recently been announced.

The shortlisted and winning companies are those that are innovating, disrupting and thriving – and want to showcase their achievements.

L.E.A.D. IT Services is up for three awards – Community Impact (alongside Nimbus Disability) and Fast Growth Business, with the firm’s Lee Jepson nominated for CEO of the Year.

Lee is joined in that category by Christine Yardley, of Rothera Bray – a firm which is also up for Medium Business of the Year, alongside Morley Hayes.

Morley Hayes is also shortlisted for the Sustainability Award.

Elsewhere, Q Branch Consulting will be vying for the Start-Up prize and Armsons Barlow will be hoping for success in the Property category.

Each shortlisted company will now be invited to pitch why they should win an award, with the winners revealed at a ceremony on October 16.
