Companies at this year’s North East Business Awards will battle it out for a brand new gong.
The Let’s Grow award recognises firms that have boosted their turnover and profit in the last 12 months.
It highlights businesses of all sizes that have shown exceptional and rapid growth in sales, profit, market share and headcount.
One of the region’s largest business events, NEBA celebrates the brightest, best and most inspiring companies the region has to offer. The annual competition is run by the Gazette and its sister paper, The Journal, in association with the North East Chamber of Commerce.
Last week, the finalists were revealed for the Teesside heat of the awards, which takes place on Thursday, March 26 at Teesside University.
FW Capital is sponsoring the Let’s Grow award.
Joanne Pratt, FW Capital’s Fund Manager in the North-east said: “FW Capital is pleased to continue to be associated with the North East Business Awards in 2015 and we’re proud to sponsor the ‘Let’s Grow Award’ in its first year.
“It’s an exciting new award that celebrates the businesses in the North-east that are achieving exceptional growth and highlights how they’re achieving these growth levels.
“Interest in the award is high and it’s clear that the extensive judging criteria have really sparked businesses’ imagination and this has resulted in an impressive shortlist. We met some interesting businesses during the judging process and there were some great examples of how they’re developing their competitive edge and successfully maximising their potential,” she continued.
“Good luck to all those businesses shortlisted this year and I hope that more businesses will be inspired by their example and consider their growth options.
“FW Capital can support businesses in the North-east with short and long-term investment packages through the North East Growth Plus Fund and Tees Valley Catalyst Fund and we’re keen to discuss their growth plans with them.”
