The 2022 Business Awards for East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire reached a dramatic conclusion with the Winners announced at the Gala Awards Evening at Pirelli Stadium on Thursday 10th November.
All the finalists from the 11 categories were in attendance, along with the sponsors, guests and dignitaries. The black tie evening was once again a sell-out, with 270 guests enjoying the hospitality laid on by Burton Albion FC, which included a four course meal, local entertainment, and of course the announcement of the Winners on the various categories.
More details and pictures from the evening will be published in the coming days and weeks, but here is a list of the 2022 Winners in each of the categories. Congratulations to all of them, along with the Finalists too who all did so well to make the shortlist.
