Raising The Bar Awards 2024: Winners
Yorkshire’s most ethical and caring businesses were celebrated at the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s Raising the Bar Awards.
Now in its 11th year, Raising the Bar recognises the hard work that the region’s businesses put into supporting the wider community and measuring their social impact in their local area.
Staged at the offices of Flutter in Leeds city centre, the awards saw categories listed across three key areas of Environment, Education and Community, and subdivided to recognise small, medium and large-scale businesses in each area.
This year’s community awards were won by Yorkshire Garden Centres (large), Talk Straight Group (medium) and SVH Inc (small).
The education awards were taken by Robertson Group (large), Medicines Management Team (medium) and UKREiiF (small).
Finally, the environment awards were won by First Bus (large), ACS Group (medium) and Rance Booth Smith Architects (small).
Broadcaster Andrew Edwards, awards show host, said: “Tonight, we will be sharing with you how businesses empower and encourage employees to go the extra mile in the Bradford, Leeds, York and North Yorkshire region.
“The nature of these awards is not just about the accolade. It’s about giving recognition to all those businesses who strive to improve the places where we live and the lives of people that live here.
“Congratulations to all the winners.”
Sponsorship for the event came from headline partner Vanquis Banking Group who have played a vital part in the success and growth of the Raising the Bar initiative, with further support from Drax and Flutter.
