On March 9 next year, the Stray Ferret will host a glittering black tie ceremony in the Pavilions of Harrogate awarding winners in 10 categories that cover all aspects of business − from Dynamic Leader to Business Growth and Inclusivity.
The Stray Ferret Business Awards 2023, sponsored by local financial advisers Prosperis, are for businesses across all sectors in the Harrogate district including Ripon, Masham, Boroughbridge, Harrogate, Pateley Bridge and Knaresborough.
The stellar judging panel is made up from some of the region's most influential business leaders:

There are 10 award categories − from Dynamic Leader to Business Growth and Inclusivity.
It doesn't matter if the business is large or small − the awards are to recognise excellent organisations, their leaders or unsung heroes.
