Niche Magazine has announced this year’s semi-finalists for the Niche Business Awards 2022.
We’re thrilled to have received over 400 nominations across our 15 categories this year, and to see many first-time nominees making it through to the semi-finals.
As we write this, our panel of independent judges are hard at work, researching the nominees, reviewing supporting evidence, and choosing who will progress.
Finalists will be announced at the next Niche Networking event on July 4.
The winners will be revealed at the award ceremony on September 2 (the dress code is black-tie, so dig out your penguin suits and fancy frocks). This year’s theme is Back to the Future, so we hope you’ll make time to join us in celebrating Leicester’s diverse business community at Athena.
To buy tickets to the Niche Networking event, details can be found at nbafinalists2022.eventbrite.co.uk. To attend the ceremony in September, email awards@nichemagazine.co.uk for tickets.
