JUDGES have completed the tough task of deciding finalists for the 2022 Love Northallerton Business Awards.
An independent panel reviewed dozens of nominations for town-centre businesses and were particularly impressed by their strength and quality.
This is the second time Northallerton Business Improvement District (BID) has hosted the awards and the winners will be announced at a gala black-tie awards dinner to be held at the Golden Lion Hotel on Saturday 30 April, compered by Elly Fiorentini, Communities Senior Journalist at BBC Radio York.
“We’d particularly like to thank all the businesses who have supported the Love Northallerton awards and also our independent judging panel,” says Northallerton BID Manager Graham Bell.
“We had to stage our inaugural 2020 awards virtually because of lockdown restrictions so it will be good to honour this year’s winners in the traditional way with our gala dinner on 30 April.”
