A glittering evening of celebration was enjoyed by many of the region's local firms at the first ever North Notts Business Awards 2011 held at Hodsock Priory on 17th March 2011.

Hailed as a great success, the host for this special black tie occasion was Matt Jones, Program Manager at Trax FM, whilst the Master of Ceremonies Keith Girling, County Councillor and Business Champion of Nottinghamshire County, conducted the awards ceremony. Organised by North Notts Business Connections, all suppliers for the awards event were locally sourced helping them to keep to their aims and objectives to keep business local.

The entries were from a variety of business across industry sectors and the independent judging panel had a tough job choosing the most worthy firms as the winners.
