Excitement as new Chesterfield Business Awards launches
A brand new celebration of Chesterfield’s commercial success is set to debut this summer, as our town’s newest business awards officially launches, recognising the innovation, resilience and achievements of organisations across North Derbyshire.
The awards, sponsored by accountancy firm SMH Mitchells, are open to businesses within the Chesterfield Borough, with organisers inviting companies of all sizes and sectors to put themselves forward for recognition.
The inaugural awards ceremony and dinner will take place on Wednesday 1 July at Casa Hotel, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals for an evening dedicated to celebrating success across categories including growth and enterprise, customer service, international trade and community impact.
Dom Stevens, Head of Destination Chesterfield will be one of the judges. Dom said:
“I’m delighted to be part of the judging panel for these new awards, which provide a fresh opportunity to recognise the breadth of talent, innovation and ambition we have here in Chesterfield. Our business community continues to achieve remarkable things, and I’m looking forward to learning more about the fantastic organisations contributing to the town’s growth and success throughout the judging process.”
Organiser Chrissie Rowell of Black Hare Marketing and Events said the awards have been created in partnership with local Chesterfield experts to shine a light on the town’s business community and provide a platform to recognise those making a significant contribution locally.
“Chesterfield is a thriving business community and we’ve had huge support for the awards already, it’s great to be giving Chesterfield some well deserved spotlight of its own,” she said. “We’re also pleased to be supporting a local cause and this year we’ve partnered with Chesterfield Animal Rescue and will be donating £5 from every ticket sale to them, as well as fundraising proceeds from the evening itself.”
She also confirmed the event will support local charity Chesterfield Animal Rescue, with £5 from every ticket sale being donated, alongside additional fundraising on the night.
Entries will be judged by a panel of experts from Chesterfield, who are passionate about the success of the town.
Award winners will be announced during a gala dinner featuring networking opportunities, entertainment and a formal awards presentation.
