Nominations now open for the 2023 East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Chairman’s Awards

After a break of two years, entries are now open for the 2023 East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Chairman’s Awards.

The awards will be presented by chairman John Whittle at an event in May. And will recognise people, businesses and projects that have helped improve the East Riding.

With four award categories:

• Business – recognises businesses that have helped the economy grow.
• Community – recognises groups and individuals for the contribution to improving lives of those living in the East Riding, with a non-commercial project.
• Built heritage – celebrates private homes, new builds or business premises that have been sympathetically renovated and/or restored.
• Sport – celebrates local talent and commitment to sports clubs and activities.

In 2020, the winners in the Business category went to CAB Executive Travel from Goole and Subli Metals from Mappleton. Both businesses showed commitment to their workforce, contributions to the local economy and supported the local community.

Nominees can only be entered for one category. Additionally a previous award winner cannot be nominated in the same category for a period of three years, but can be entered in another.

Councillor Whittle said: “It’s great news that the awards are back. There are many individuals, communities, businesses, building projects and sporting achievements that deserve some recognition for making the East Riding a good place to be.”
