2025 marked a significant milestone in the history of these prestigious awards, as we celebrated 25 years of recognising business excellence across Hull and the East Riding.
Originally established as the Hull Daily Mail and HullLive Business Awards, the Hull & East Yorkshire Business Awards, proudly builds on this long-standing legacy. Today, the awards remain firmly rooted in their purpose: to showcase, celebrate and support the region’s thriving business community.
Recognise and support the regional business community in Hull and East Yorkshire, and the key contributors within it.
Invest in our business talent, helping develop a thriving ecosystem that encourages entrepreneurship.
Further advance successful organisations and accelerate their progression through a package of support for each award winner.
Collectively drive forward economic growth, contributing to the ongoing development and prosperity of the region.
Tell a business-focussed story every year about what has been achieved in the region in 2025 and beyond.
We are moving away from the previous model of a PR-focused event lasting one night of the year.
We are creating a showcase for recognising high potential, high growth, high success organisations, and encouraging them to continue to grow and play an active role in the local business community.
Our hope is that this is a journey you can get behind and support us in taking these awards to new heights.
We want you to join in with the Hull & East Yorkshire Business Awards. Send in your nomination, become a partner, take part in the judging or join our team of consultants to help other businesses grow. Getting involved means you’re making a real difference to the business community of our region.
