Awarding night for all.
The Northern Lincolnshire Business Awards was a real celebration of all that is good in the Grimsby-area when it comes to industry and commerce.
A staggering 480 people packed the venue for what was an excellent event, enjoyed by all.
For me the strength of the companies who were recognised as well worthy runners-up showed exactly how well those taking the gongs home had done.
A great mix of small, large, new and well established firms made it an all-encompassing event and one that both the newspaper as sponsors and the hosts Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce should be rightly proud of.
The motivational speech by former British Olympic coach Frank Dick went down a storm too, with many there no doubt trying to remember on Monday morning exactly what had been said after a bottle of wine at 10pm on the Friday.
But it was the awards that really made people sit up and listen. And the elation felt by the winners as they went on stage before their peers was the clearest guide to what this meant to them.
I was thrilled to see Karen Webb-Meek take business personality of the year, she is a real character and a joy to be around. I don't think Mr Dick could have told her much about motivation!
Young's Bluecrest receiving the award for business excellence after putting Grimsby on the map in the best possible way with the amazing television commercial was the very least the company deserved.
Congratulations to all the winners, and those who put the event together. Anne Tate and Megan Hicks at the chamber did a super job.
