North East Entrepreneurial Awards

For over 10 years we've been honouring entrepreneurs who have stood out from the crowd, leading dynamic, innovative businesses and making a genuine change to our region.

Sponsored for the third year running by the North East LEP, the Crowne Plaza hotel will play host to more than 300 key decision makers and business leaders, providing an inspirational setting for a fantastic occasion.
