unLTD launch Small Business Awards!

After two years collaborating with the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce on the Sheffield Business Awards, we have decided to launch our own awards to be held in Sheffield, later this year.

The unLTD Business Awards will be held at Peddler Warehouse on November 30, 2023 and will be a celebration of South Yorkshire’s SMEs, Start Ups and Entrepreneurs.

Each year the awards will move across the region to ensure all parts of South Yorkshire are fully represented, while the awards have been designed to be easy to enter to encourage time-poor businesses to take part.

“We want all SMEs, small businesses and entrepreneurs from across South Yorkshire to feel like they are represented by our awards and stand a chance of winning,” says unLTD owner Phil Turner. “We have designed the entry and judging processes to be as straightforward as possible to encourage small business owners and managers with often little spare time to be able to take part. We really want all types of businesses from right across the region to be involved and celebrate each other’s successes. The only caveat is that you must be an SME or smaller.”

There are 21 awards in all, with most categories bracketed by industry – the idea being that recruiters compete against other recruiters and accountants against

List of Awards

•Best Nightlife or Hospitality Business

•Best Independent Retailer

•Property and Construction Company of the Year

•Best Business Support or Consultancy

•Creative Business of the Year

•Manufacturing Company of the Year

•Best Recruitment or HR Business

•Best Technology Business

•Finance and Accountancy Company of the Year other accountants etc. With overall awards for Best Entrepreneur, Best Micro, Small and Medium Business all included, as well as an overall winner, there is hopefully, just about something for everyone.

Entries will open in September, with judges meeting in October to agree a shortlist and the ceremony celebrating all winners at the end of November.

Said Phil: “It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Sheffield Chamber of Commerce over these past two years and to develop the Sheffield Business Awards - despite the difficult times in which we were organising events.

“Now, however, a wonderful opportunity has opened to allow us to celebrate so much more in the region.

Alongside the Exposed Awards, run by our sister magazine and aimed at the hospitality industry, we see a space to celebrate those small and medium businesses that drive so much of the region’s economy. With our new award ceremony, that’s exactly what we are excited to champion.”
