Entries open and sponsorship opportunities available for second annual VelociTees awards for region ’ s fast growers
Booming businesses are being urged to enter the second annual VelociTees awards , which recognise the region ’ s fastest-growing companies .
The VelociTees shine a light on the Tees region ’ s fast-growing businesses – in terms of turnover and / or job creation .
Organised by Tees Business in association with leading accountants and business advisers Azets , the VelociTees 2024 will take place at Wynyard Hall on February 13 next year .
An impressive string of highprofile sponsors have lined up to support the awards , which will be handed out during a lunchtime ceremony .
And while this region has many businesses and enterprises worthy of a VelociTees award , the message is clear – you need to be in it to win it !
The VelociTees are open to businesses in Middlesbrough , Stockton , Redcar & Cleveland , Stokesley , Hartlepool and Darlington .
Winning one would not only show how far a business has come but would be a tremendous acknowledgement of the teams that made it possible .
Entering is straightforward , although businesses must have at least two years of filed accounts to be eligible .
Applications will be considered by qualified accountants from headline sponsors Azets , who will act as judges .
The inaugural VelociTees awards , in February 2023 , saw around 140 people attend Wynyard Hall to hear how all those nominated had recorded admirable results , despite testing economic times .
And it was a double delight for Middlesbrough-based games developer Double Eleven , which won both the Large Business and Overall awards in the turnover category , having recorded a 355 per cent growth rate to £ 45.1m .
Other winners included Double Eleven ’ s fellow games developers Radical Forge , two further “ double ” winners , security firm Vistech Services , and vape marketing business Phoenix 2 Retail , plus one of the region ’ s best-known firms , Wilton Engineering .
