Hide AdThe awards take the victors from four chambers – Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley, and East Midlands – plus the Derbyshire Times business awards – and pits them head-to-head to discover the ‘first among winners’.
Some 51 finalists in 13 categories are up for glory.
Justin said: “It’s always an honour to return to Sheffield - and that goes double to have the chance to announce the winners at the City Region Business Awards. In my experience a win is a huge boost for all those involved and acts as a major differentiator for potential customers.
“As the world shrinks due to the advances of technology, whole regions are coming together to compete on a world stage.
“It is absolutely necessary that Sheffield City Region should unite like this to judge and celebrate their best firms.

Sir Nigel Knowles, head of the Local Enterprise Partnership and global co-chair of law firm DLA Piper, is headline speaker at the event, now in its fourth year.
Learning Unlimited, part of Chesterfield College, is associate sponsor.
