Award entries urged as deadline looms

The deadline for entries will fall at noon on Monday, March 13.

Jean MacQuarrie, editor of the Harrogate Advertiser series, said: “The last month of the entry phase tends to go by quickly and can take would-be entrants by surprise.

“The black-tie awards ceremony on Thursday, April 27 will be held at the Royal Hall for the first time ever, so it’s sure to feel very special. I’d urge businesses to enter now rather than leaving too late.”

The awards’ main sponsor is Harrogate and Pateley Bridge estate agent Verity Frearson.
