The winners of the BECBC Business Awards 2023 were announced at an awards dinner at Energus in Lillyhall.
The event was held on Thursday 16th November and hosted by John Berry, relationship development manager at Sellafield Ltd.
John Grainger, head judge, said: “The winners this year have really shown what can be achieved, even in difficult times.
“Everyone who participated has shown great resilience and many the innovation that is needed to move business forward.
“Businesses and charities have come back after the pandemic, worked with the restrictions of higher costs and the impact of the energy crisis and have delivered excellence, nevertheless.
