CHANGEMAKERS
Success deserves to be recognised. Across Tees Valley, thousands of businesses are creating jobs, developing new technologies, winning international contracts, investing in communities and inspiring the next generation. Every year, Resolution Media and Publishing celebrates those achievements through a trio of prestigious awards that have become highlights of the region ' s business calendar.
Organised by the team behind This Is Tees Valley and Tees Business – the recognised voice of business across the region – the awards champion the ambition, innovation and resilience that continue to transform Tees Valley ' s economy.
The Tees Businesswomen Awards, returning for a ninth successive year in November 2026, celebrate inspirational women from every sector while promoting opportunity, diversity and the power of female leadership. The Tees Business Awards, taking place for a fourth year in March 2027, recognise the outstanding companies, entrepreneurs and individuals whose ideas, investment and determination are helping shape one of the UK ' s most exciting regional economies.
Completing the trio, the Tees Tech Awards return for an eighth successive year in June 2027, celebrating the innovators, digital pioneers and technology businesses driving the growth of what has become the UK ' s fastestgrowing tech hub outside London.
Together, the events attract hundreds of business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and decision-makers, providing a unique opportunity to celebrate success while forging new relationships and strengthening connections across the region.
Businesses can become part of that success through a wide range of sponsorship opportunities, including award categories, finalists ' films, welcome drinks, event programmes and other high-profile branding opportunities. It is a chance not only to showcase a brand to an influential audience but to stand alongside the businesses and people helping shape Tees Valley ' s future.
Celebration – category winners celebrate on stage at the 2026 Tees Business Awards.
Dave Allan, director of Resolution Media & Publishing, said: " Our awards are about much more than one evening of celebration. They tell the story of a region that believes in itself and the remarkable people and businesses making great things happen every day.
" Every sponsor and partner becomes part of that story. Their support enables us to recognise excellence, inspire future success and showcase Tees Valley at its very best.
“ It ' s an opportunity to align your organisation with the values that define this region – ambition, innovation, collaboration and confidence – while building meaningful relationships with the businesses leading the next chapter of Tees Valley ' s success."
