Hartlepool Business awards
2024

A Message from the Chair of Hartlepool Business Forum, Simon Corbett on the Hartlepool Business Awards 2024:

The Hartlepool Business Awards provide a unique opportunity for local businesses to be recognised for their hard work and dedication. The ceremony is a chance for businesses to come together and network with other members of the business community.

“With the support of our dynamic business community, we can enhance the scale, impact, and prestige of the awards, showcasing the remarkable accomplishments and innovation within Hartlepool’s business landscape.

“Let’s aim high and work together to make this year’s awards a truly memorable and outstanding occasion for all involved.

“Now, more than ever, it is crucial for the business community to rally behind the awards. Supporting this event demonstrates our collective commitment to celebrating excellence and fostering camaraderie within our local business ecosystem. By attending and participating in the awards, we not only honour the achievements of our peers but also showcase the resilience and adaptability of Hartlepool businesses in the face of challenges. Let’s come together to make this year’s awards a resounding success and demonstrate the strength and unity of our business community.”

Chair of Hartlepool Business Forum, Simon Corbett.
