Limited sponsorship opportunities are now remaining for the 2025 Make Your Mark Awards.
Aycliffe Business Park’s showcase event of the year will take place at Hardwick Hall next May, in association with headline sponsor Senstronics.
The awards have also won the backing of Business Durham, the economic arm of Durham County Council, as well as Aycliffe firms Husqvarna, Roman and South West Durham Training, GEM Partnership and law firm Swinburne Maddison.
Resolution Media and Publishing – owned by Aycliffe Business founder Martin Walker and his business partner Dave Allan – will again deliver the awards ceremony on behalf of Aycliffe Business Park Community.
The 2024 event was attended by 250 people in Hardwick Hall’s Coleman Suite.
And they will return to the stunning venue for the 2025 event on May 8 next year.
Resolution, publishers of Tees Business magazine, have already established five key awards events in the Tees Valley region, including the Tees Business Awards, Tees Businesswomen Awards, Tees Tech Awards, Best New Tees Business Awards and VelociTees.
“We’re looking forward to making the 2025 event even bigger and better than this year,” said Martin.
“I’m looking forward to again leading on these awards and creating a buzz for the business park again.”
