Mr Osborn, who also chairs the Leicester Business Festival and is a director of Team Leicester and BID Leicester, said the judging process was particularly tough because of the high quality of all the nominations.

He said: “It has been a very pleasantly challenging exercise reviewing the depth and quality of submissions made for this year’s LeicestershireLive Business Awards.

“We have been so impressed by both the quality and quantity of submissions made which has made our decisions even more difficult to make.

“However, what is absolutely clear already is that we have some fantastic businesses across Leicestershire, both large and small, and across such a broad range of sectors that have bounced back after some challenging years and show that Leicestershire business is in very good shape.

“We say well done to all of the nominees and hope that everyone enjoys celebrating the best of Leicestershire business on October 26.”
