WE ARE FINALISTS IN THE WAKEFIELD BUSINESS AWARDS 2023!

We are celebrating being finalists in the Business Growth Success Story category of the Wakefield Business Awards

We’re excited to share that we’ve been shortlisted in the first Wakefield Business Awards brought to you by We Are Wakefield.

We’ve been named finalists in the Business Growth Success Story category, alongside other businesses from across the Wakefield area. Our Managing Partner, Ian Parsons said:

“We are delighted to be recognised as a finalist in these awards on a list with Cryer and Scott Cheesemongers, The Value Circle and Thornton Jones Solicitors – all fantastic local businesses. For our entry to have stood out alongside such stiff competition is a great achievement in itself and a testament to all the hard work done by our team to grow the business over the past few years. We wish our fellow finalists huge congratulations and we can’t wait to celebrate their successes at the awards ceremony in November!”

The award category, sponsored by ActionCOACH Wakefield, recognises small and medium-sized Wakefield businesses which have grown despite all the challenges of the past few years. Our entry outlined the elements of our focused growth strategy which have doubled our turnover and team headcount over the past two years. This has been achieved by opening a new office in York, launching two new service lines and merging with one of Wakefield’s oldest accountancy firms to steadily grow the client base. The work never stops but we are so thrilled to receive this recognition for our efforts – well done team and a sincere thanks to our clients for their steadfast support.

Managing director of We Are Wakefield, Claire Sutherley, said:

“We’ve been hugely impressed by the superb quality of entries for the 2023 awards. We planned them to be a celebration of all that’s amazing about the Wakefield business scene, and we’ve not been disappointed. The judging panel scored everything independently, with each entry being judged three times, so we know we have a robust shortlist which really reflects high-quality businesses. We can’t wait to see everyone in the room on 9 November at the ceremony.”

Watch out for news from the ceremony, which is being held at the Tileyard North on Thursday 9 November.

Making the shortlist for the Wakefield Business Awards is an achievement in itself, so we couldn’t be prouder of our team for getting this far. We have our fingers crossed for an accolade from the awards ceremony, keep an eye on our social media feeds for news in November!
