BUSINESS REPORT
AWARDS TO BRING BUSINESS COMMUNITY TOGETHER
Entries are now open for the Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards 2021 in November, an event that it is hoped will bring the county’s business community together again after the difficulties of lockdowns and social distancing. The Northamptonshire Business
Excellence Awards 2020, organised by All Things Business magazine, moved online for its glittering awards night in February. Beamed directly to finalists’ and
guests’ homes in a virtual version of what would have been one of the highlights of the business social
calendar, the night included a ‘visit’ to Warner’s Distillery in Harrington and live entertainment from singer Faryl Smith. The winners were announced by
the All Things Business team and then invited by managing director Ben Thomas (pictured) to say a few words via video link. The winners of the 12 awards included Jasmine Abel from Cave & Sons (Apprentice of the Year), Brooklyn Brownie Company (Food and Drink Award), Scott Bader (Employer of the Year), The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation (Community Project or Person of
the Year) and Medigold Health (Big Business of the Year). Ben Thomas said: “My team and
I refused to put a stop to the celebration of our county’s hard work and commitment to getting through this tough time and propping others up along the way. “But, despite the success of the
2020 awards, we can’t wait to get everyone back together for a full- on awards night later this year.”
