There are 12 award categories for the 200-plus members of Northallerton Business Improvement District (BID), covering everything from small beauty and hairdressing shops to the town’s biggest retailers.
Next week’s virtual event replaces the gala black-tie dinner in March that had to be cancelled because of the first national lockdown for coronavirus.
The ceremony will be compered by resident local radio presenter Tim Lichfield, formerly of Minster FM, who will join new station YorkMix when it launches in January.
“These awards will certainly give businesses something to celebrate in lockdown November,” says Northallerton BID manager Graham Bell.
“The show will bring out wonderful stories of devoted business owners and staff who are so proud of what they bring to the town. These are the people who make Northallerton truly special.
“We’re so glad we’re able to bring these awards to life virtually and would like to say a big thanks to all our sponsors who have made the event possible.”
