Entries open for Derbyshire Business Awards

East Midlands Chamber is aiming to reward the resilience of the local business community following the launch of this year’s Derbyshire Business Awards 2023.

Entries are now being accepted for the awards, which will celebrate businesses, charities and individuals across 14 categories, ranging from Outstanding Growth and Excellence in International Trade through to Environmental Impact and an Education and Business Partnership Award.

Headline partner Mazars will also select a Business of the Year winner. Last year’s winner was theme park attraction designer Katapult.

Scott Knowles, chief executive at East Midlands Chamber, said: “With the cost-of-doing-business crisis following hot on the heels of the pandemic and Brexit, the past few years have been as tough a trading environment as many of us can recall.

“Despite this, we’ve seen tremendous resilience on display among our region’s business community, which has found new ways to grow, innovate and collaborate.

“We are once again hugely excited about celebrating these achievements in our business awards, which are always one of the most highly-anticipated events in the chamber calendar.”

The deadline for entries is Monday 17 July, with the finalists announced on Thursday 24 August at the president’s summer celebration.

The Derbyshire Business Awards gala dinner will take place on Friday 17 November.
