The awards’ organisers have paid tribute and congratulated all the winners following an emotional and successful evening at Hardwick Hall.
More than 300 people packed the venue to celebrate the town’s enterprise at an event organised by Hartlepool Business Forum and Hartlepool Borough Council – praising its unmatched calibre of talent and community pride.
Standout moments included Frances Connolly receiving the “Peter Olsen Award” and Lily Rose Cockfield winning the “Young Entrepreneur Award.”
The joy of the occasion was perfectly captured by Sam Milburn, co-owner of “Best New Business” winner Sweat Recovery Zone, who said: “We are so proud! We are all over the moon and I have not stopped smiling since we got on stage. We were all just happy to put on our suits and get some nice food – but we have ended up winning!”
