We have been named as a finalist in the Wakefield Business Awards 2024
We are delighted to have been named a finalist in the Doing Good in Business category in the Wakefield Business Awards 2024.
The awards recognise outstanding achievements across various business categories and are open to all businesses in the WF postcode area.
‘Doing Good’ like a good pub should!
The ‘Doing Good in Business’ category recognises businesses with the best corporate social responsibility plan, relative to its size, and is all about going the extra mile to make a difference. We believe that pubs are about more than providing somewhere to go for a drink; they’re at the heart of many communities. Therefore, aside from the service we provide as a pub (we particularly pride ourselves on a well kept pint of cask beer!), we also aim to support the causes that our customers and communities care about.
Endeavours like the Yorkshire 3 Pints Challenge that The Sportsman pub in Huddersfield organised to raise over £6000 for Project Youth Cancer, or the Huddersfield and Horbury pub maps that brought multiple (technically, competitor) businesses together to benefit them all were central to its entry.
Sarah Barnes, MD of Beerhouses said:
“We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for this award. I’m very proud of all the pubs who each choose their own causes to support and organise their own events to raise money and awareness for them. This is a huge team effort and they’ve done amazing things.”
In good company
The finalists were announced on 9 September, and it seems the competition was pretty fierce. Along with Beerhouses, En Route Hair and Beauty, Juice Personnel, and The Yorkshire Broker have made the shortlist. You can see a full list of all the finalists here.
Louise Turner of Awards Writers and Head Judge of the Wakefield Business Awards, shared her enthusiasm: “The third year of The Wakefield Business Awards has been exceptional. Our judging panel meticulously evaluated each entry independently, ensuring a robust shortlist that truly reflects high-quality businesses.”
The winners for all categories will be announced on 7 November at the awards dinner at Tileyard North.
