North East Business Awards 2015: Teesside shortlist is revealed

The Teesside finalists for the North East Business Awards 2015 have been revealed.

One of the region’s largest business awards ceremonies, NEBA celebrates the brightest, best and most inspiring companies the North-east has to offer.

Companies across the sectors are highlighted for the work they’ve done over the last 12 months.

Organised by The Journal and our sister paper on Teesside, the Gazette, the awards held in association with the North East Chamber of Commerce saw record numbers attend its glittering regional final at Sedgefield’s Hardwick Hall last year.

The hotly-contested Teesside heat will be held at on March 26 at Teesside University’s Olympia Building, where companies will discover who goes head-to-head with the winners from two other sub-regions.

Successful companies will be up against winners from Tyneside and Northumberland and Durham and Wearside at the final, on April 23.

Finalists have been selected in 12 categories, with a new category added this year; the Let’s Grow Award recognises companies that have boosted turnover and profit in the last 12 months.

The Teesside firms that made the cut include Redcar-based ElringKlinger (GB) Ltd - which is up for three awards; Manufacturing, Green and the coveted Company of the Year.

Hartlepool’s Gus Robinson Developments is up for two awards, while Billingham-based energy specialists Tadea UK is also up for three.

ElringKlinger (GB) will go head-to-head with Applied Integration UK Ltd and eCommerce specialists Visualsoft for Company of the Year.
