THE finalists of Ryedale’s second business awards have been revealed.
Anna Lupton, owner of the award-winning Carr House Farm B&B near Ampleforth and a driving force behind the awards, said: “I am delighted after coming up with the idea of the Ryedale Business Awards and the support it received last year that we are once again holding the event.
“We have so many businesses in Ryedale to be proud of, some of which go under the radar.
“The standard of entries has been very high and it was a difficult choose for the judges to select the finalists.”
This year there are eight categories, including Young Entrepreneur, Learning and Development Community Contribution, Rural Diversification, Long Standing Business (10-plus years), Best Dressed Shop Window, Food and Drink Hero and Ryedale Champion.
Sponsors include the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank, Horsetown Beers, Fergus Court Funeral Services, Studford Luxury Lodges, Cuckavalda Gundogs, RV Rogers, In-Print Colour, and Alex Yoxall.
The winners will be announced over a celebratory breakfast served to the nominees and their guests at the White Swan in Ampleforth, on January 30.
All finalists will receive a free ticket to the awards ceremony. Additional tickets can be purchased at a cost of £20 by phoning 01347 868526.
This year’s event will be supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
