Sheffield Business Awards 2024 celebrates local excellence with 16 winners

The Sheffield Business Awards 2024 celebrated the achievements of local businesses at a glamorous black-tie event held at the Octagon Centre.

Over 440 guests gathered for the event, hosted by TV presenter and magician Ben Hanlin.

Emma Clarke, Co-Chair of The Green Estate Community Interest Company (CIC), feels that the company is ‘a small organisation with a big impact’.

They won the Small Organisation of the Year award.

She said: “It leads the way in demonstrating how people and nature can thrive in urban environments, which is essential for the future of all of us given the climate challenges we face.

“We are honoured to receive this award; it recognises the expertise and hard work of the whole team, and the values-led innovation that is happening right here in Sheffield.”

At the awards ceremony, they recognised excellence across 16 categories, with winners ranging from small businesses to large corporations.

Before the big reveal, guests enjoyed a three-course meal served by the University’s catering team and live entertainment from Undercovered.
