We are thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Connect Yorkshire Business Awards 2022 in the Community Impact category.
The Connect Yorkshire Business Awards will take place at The Royal Armouries, Leeds, on the 30th of November, 2022. The first-ever awards event for the non-profit organisation will be held to recognise the local business community of Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.
At the event, Connect Yorkshire aims to celebrate the hard work and dedication of local businesses and has hand-picked nominees at their discretion from the existing Connect Yorkshire network of businesses.
We are among six other businesses nominated for the Community Impact award, which Yorkshire Children’s Charity sponsors. The award celebrates businesses that have had a noticeable impact on the local community.
This links with our goal to create growth opportunities for our clients through digital PR, social media management and digital marketing. We also focus mainly on local businesses in and around Yorkshire to raise the profile of Yorkshire businesses in general.
A panel of expert judges from the Connect Yorkshire Entrepreneurs in residence has chosen the nominations for each of the eight categories. Following the surprise nominations, we were then asked to submit more information as to why they believed they would be a worthy winner.
Indeed, during the last 12 months, we have continued to support local businesses in many ways. This includes providing discounted and pro-bono social media and PR activity to help local companies such as Conscious Youth CIC and Uniform Exchange, which are organisations set up to provide support for young people within Yorkshire.
Our MD, Katrina Cliffe, was also thrilled to launch Huddersfield Business Week back in 2019 to encourage Huddersfield businesses to utilise each other and create a more profitable area for all businesses involved!
We have also continued to support the Yorkshire community by providing opportunities for education for young people in the local area, including our three apprentices who have completed their studies alongside full-time work and internal support.
We are really looking forward to the awards to network with and celebrate other local businesses; good luck to all other nominees!
