Chamber Unveils Business Awards Finalists

The finalists of East Midlands Chamber’s 2016 Business Awards in Derbyshire have been unveiled.

There are eleven categories this year and the winner of the overall Business of the Year award will be chosen from among the individual category winners.

Chesterfield businesses, including Mitchells Chartered Accountants, NLT Training Services, Cathelco and Banner Jones Solicitors, have been nominated for awards, that will be presented at a black-tie gala dinner at The Roundhouse, Derby, on 16 September. Winners will go on to compete in the British Chambers of Commerce’s regional business awards for the East Midlands, with those that win then progressing into the British Chamber of Commerce’s national awards in November.

Scott Knowles, the Chamber’s Chief Executive, said:-

“Congratulations to all of the shortlisted finalists. As always, we had a bumper crop of entries and our sponsors had a difficult task in whittling the entrants in each category down to a final three. We have a good cross-section of businesses represented this year and they all deserve their place on the list.

“The fact that so many businesses, from a wide range of different sectors, are doing so well is a strong indication of the robustness of the private sector and the Chamber is proud to be able to highlight not only their successes but also the strength of business here in the East Midlands.”
