Harrogate-based Si Recruitment, which specialises in servicing the accountancy and finance industries, as well as placing people in admin and secretarial roles, has been a category sponsor since the awards’ inception in 2006. This year, it is sponsoring the Best SME award.

Director Mark Sanderson said: “Sponsoring an award has been good for us. We’re very much part of the local business community and we like to be able to show that through these awards. As a young company 14 years ago, it also lent us some credibility and helped us to grow.”

Entry to the awards – at www.harrogatebusinessawards.co.uk – is free. The deadline for entries is Friday, February 28.
