Lincolnshire Enterprise Awards: Celebrating cutting-edge local businesses

Fifth big awards ceremony from The Lincolnite & Stonebow Media this year

By Local Democracy Reporter

The first ever Lincolnshire Enterprise Awards, organised by Stonebow Media, took place at Lincoln’s Engine Shed on Thursday night, recognising the best in local business innovation.

The Lincolnshire Enterprise Awards were an opportunity for some of the county’s leading business minds to come together in celebration of the wonderful work going on within Lincolnshire.

The evening was compered by public speaker and coach Richard Askam, with some 200 people attending to enjoy live music by local act Steven Smith, catered food by Salted Orange, drinks galore and a Christmas backdrop to get people into the festive spirit!

Awards were handed out in a series of categories, highlighting the impact of start-up businesses, innovative creations, hard-working apprentices and entrepreneurs, and much more.

It was the last of five awards ceremonies organised by Stonebow Media in 2022, with a packed schedule of events lined up for next year.
