“The business landscape of the North East is changing – and it is time for a Business Awards event that reflects that” says Mike Hughes, BusinessIQ’s Business and Commercial Editor “The BUSINESSIQ Awards is to applaud and reward those people and organisations who are making the region a place for investment and innovation. Across every category, the awards are to recognise the leaders bold enough to make the big decisions, their partners who build collaborations to support the future of the region, the products and visions that are taking us forward at such a rate and the people who make it all happen; from the team leaders to the newest apprentice”

“To receive this nomination out of the blue was just fantastic!” says MD Karl Pemberton “to be nominated for any award is an honour, but to be recognised for how we treat our people makes everything we do really matter. The health and wellbeing of our team is paramount to our success!”

The awards dinner takes place in the Bishop Suite at Ramside Hall Hotel, Durham on Friday 28th April 2023.

"“This has been so educational, not only for the students but also the teachers; I had no idea of what really went on down here. This is great knowledge that I can take back with me and share with the other colleagues and students.”"

Teacher, Middlesbrough

""It was very informative and was definitely worth every minute. The speakers and staff were very kind and helped us all build a better understanding of the world of engineering. This was an insight I doubt I could have gotten anywhere else.""
