The winners of the 23rd annual Doncaster Business Awards, sponsored by Doncaster College and University Centre, were announced on Thursday, December 16 2021 during a prestigious awards ceremony at Doncaster Racecourse.
The black-tie evening organised by Doncaster Chamber saw guests from the local business community recognise and celebrate the high calibre of work that firms are performing across the borough and beyond.
The Award winners and runners-up for each of the award categories received their trophies from the sponsor judges having passed through a rigorous two-stage judging process, involving a written application and interview, to be recognised amongst Doncaster’s finest businesses.
David Shaul was the host of the evening that included powerful performances from talented Doncaster singers Rumbi Tauro, Ella-Jay, Richard Ford and magician and mentalist, James Kirman.
Dan Fell, Doncaster Chamber CEO, said: “The ingenuity and tenacity of our business community since the onset of pandemic never ceases to amaze me, it is testament to the Yorkshire grit that runs throughout the borough.
“I am delighted to congratulate all our very deserving winners, runners up and finalists and thank them for their participation in the Doncaster Business Awards 2021 and for all they have achieved over the past year faced with such complex challenges.”
