The NottinghamshireLive Business Awards are almost here - and after a period of judging, our finalists have been decided. The awards, in association with Champions (海角视频) PLC, will be held on October 14 - for more information, visit the .
Each year, we use the awards as a chance to highlight the incredible work done by Nottinghamshire’s varied businesses, and their achievements over the year. The past year has been a particular challenge for businesses and businesspeople across Nottinghamshire - which is why we feel that the awards are more important than ever.
One type of business that was hit particularly hard by the pandemic was not-for-profit organisations. Often running on a low budget and dependent on fundraising, the pandemic posed an extremely serious threat to the ability of not-for-profits to maintain their operations. Nonetheless, many of these organisations worked tirelessly to ensure they were able to keep serving their communities, or would be ready to the moment the pandemic ended.
The Not-For-Profit Organisation category - sponsored by - is for public sector, charitable and not-for-profit organisations that are dedicated to enriching their community. No matter what the sector, the award is for organisations that put people before profit every time.
De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre is this year's Not-For-Profit Organisation category sponsor
The NottinghamshireLive Buisiness awards give us the chance to celebrate the best in business across the region. This year's Not-For-Profit Organisation sponsor is De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre. The conference centre offers state-of-the-art meetings and events space, banqueting suites and magnificent, contemporary public spaces.
Tom Waldron-Lynch, general manager at De Vere said: "For De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre and Orchard Hotel, the Nottinghamshire Live Business Awards allows us to become close to the business community and to also support local companies and organisations. Through hosting various events at our venue, we see the importance of all the hard work these organisations do, even more so in the current climate, and this is the perfect time for us all to celebrate their achievements.”
