North East 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.

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.
