The biggest night on the calendar for the Calderdale business community is just two weeks away.
On Thursday, November 15, the 2012 Halifax Courier Business Awards will recognise superb achievements from individuals and companies.
Clare Frisby from BBC Look North will again host the glitzy evening at The Venue, Bowers Mill, Barkisland.
And, it promises to be a night to remember with success stories covering the diverse range of business in Calderdale recognised.
Nominations have continued to grow since the awards were introduced several years ago and judges had a difficult task of shortlisting each category.
Nominees will be featured on the night through a series of images taken by Courier photographers.
More than 300 people will be present and the evening provides fantastic networking opportunities.
Only a few tickets remain for what will be a sell-out event (legal firm Chadwick Lawrence is the main sponsor), and those wishing to attend and who have not yet booked tickets are advised to act fast.
The black tie evening commences with a champagne and canape reception from 6.45 pm with dinner at 7.30 pm.
Tickets cost £55 plus VAT or £500 plus VAT per table of 10.
