Bondholders on ‘business masters’ awards shortlist

A number of Marketing Derby Bondholders have been shortlisted for awards, which celebrate the region’s best.

The finalists for the East Midlands Business Masters 2022, organised by TheBusinessDesk.com, have been revealed.

And a number of Bondholders have made it onto the shortlists. Among the finalists for Start-up of the Year are AlphaGeek Digital.

The firm recently moved into Cubo in Derby – and Cubo, which is owned by Staton Young, is a finalist in the Disruptor of the Year category.

Staton Young is nominated in the Property Business category alongside St James Securities, the company delivering the £200 million Becketwell regeneration scheme.

St James Securities is also shortlisted in the Investment category.

A company which also has two nominations is Ward. It is shortlisted in the Large Business category, and it is a finalist in the Family Business category, alongside Morley Hayes, which will also be vying for honours in the Medium Business category.

Meanwhile, Anoki will contest the Small Business award, while Ask the Chameleon will go in the Fast Growth Business category.

Finally, Timms Solicitors will go for glory in the Professional Services (Legal) category.

Sam Metcalf, Midlands editor at TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Obviously, the pandemic created a huge number of challenges for businesses in all sectors.

“Many of our shortlisted companies are those that pivoted or pressed on while others paused – and the results are clear to see.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Nottingham on Thursday 13 October.
