The Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards, one of the region’s most highly anticipated business events of the year took place on 18th October at Magna where a record number of guests attended to celebrate the important contributions businesses, charities and individuals have made over the past twelve months in helping to shape the local economy. There were also some familiar faces as Dean Andrews, an actor currently appearing on Emmerdale was the Master of Ceremonies for the event.
The awards were a chance to recognise different businesses of all sizes and in different stages of their business journey, from The Elite Wax Group (winners of Launchpad Most Promising New Business Award) who have just started out to Progress Rail Services UK Ltd and Westfield Health who are already firmly established in the business world and celebrating 100 years in business.
In the end, it turned out to be a great night for energy and services company ENGIE who were the big winners of the night.
