We're back! After an amazing inaugural event earlier this year, the BUSINESSiQ Awards are returning on April 25th 2024 for another highlight of the business year.
We loved having Ramside Hall as a venue and Alfie Joey as our host - so we're reuniting the team for next year! Alfie will lead the event in his inimitable style and we will have the luxury and outstanding service from Ramside that so many of the North East's leading businesses enjoyed last time.
As the excitement starts to grow already, we need to start drawing up that shortlist of the region's top businesses.
