NNBN Awards 2024 Northamptonshire finalists are unveiled

Enterprising organisations, creative charities, design companies, photographers, hair salons and an array of businesses small and large from across Northamptonshire have today been shortlisted in the 2024 NNBN Awards.

Over the last few months award applications have been flocking into the team at the NNBN Awards – a prestigious awards ceremony launched for the first time last year.

Today the wait is over, with a broad range of finalists announced across the 14 categories and the awards ceremony set to take place at the Mercure Hotel Northampton hotel on Friday, 4th October.

NNBN Director Simon Cox said “More than 60 inspiring, innovative organisations are up for awards, and this year five of these organisations are up for not just one, but two awards – Acorn Analytical Services, Daniel Granger Hairdressing, Lucie Downer Performing Arts, New Lodge Farm and Wicksteed Park.

“Congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted, we can’t wait to see you on the night. Thank you too to everyone who took the time to enter and to our sponsors – we couldn’t do this without you.”

This year’s NNBN awards are supported by event sponsors Wilson Browne Solicitors and by headline sponsors West Northamptonshire Council, Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, Poppy Design Studio and Pilkington Communications.
