Entrepreneurial Awards

For over 20 years we've been celebrating entrepreneurs who have stood out from the crowd, leading dynamic, innovative businesses and making a genuine change to our region.

Supported this year by Week2Week Serviced Apartments, our black-tie awards dinner is a fabulous evening of entertainment where leading figures within the North East business community come together to celebrate our high achievers, with the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead providing an inspirational setting for a fantastic occasion.

Awards include...

Emerging Talent, supported by Kinnery - An individual who is building a business of outstanding potential who has been trading for six years or less (as of Friday 29th September 2023).

Scale-up Entrepreneur of the Year, supported by RTC North - A business owner who is leading a scaling company achieving 20%+ annualised growth in either turnover, profit or employee numbers for any (but ideally all) of the past three years.
