The awards dinner will be held at the Majestic Hotel on Thursday, April 30.

Jean MacQuarrie, editor of the Harrogate Advertiser Series, said: “In this tenth anniversary year, we are going back to our roots – to the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate, where it all began.

“This is because we feel a change of venue always keeps an event fresh – and because we are keen to support as many local businesses as possible.”

Individual category sponsors include Leeds Bradford Airport, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, Harrogate Chamber of Commerce, Harrogate Borough Council, Covance, Berwins Solicitors, Si Recruitment, McCormicks Solicitors, Saffery Champness and Cicada Communications.
