O'Sullivan Financial Planning with the Pinnacle Award presented at the Northamptonshire Business Awards.
HUNDREDS of Northamptonshire’s leading businesspeople and companies were at Sywell Aerodrome to toast the winners at the Northamptonshire Business Awards.
A total of 16 awards were presented on the night to the county’s leading businesses, businesspeople and community organisations.
The big winner on the night was The Chester House Estate, which took the Small Business of the Year award back to Irchester. Its business manager Jack Pishorn received the Business Person of the Year award.
Another double winner was Northampton kickboxing school Proaction Martial Arts & Fitness, which collected the Customer Commitment award and was named West Northamptonshire’s Business of the Year.
The Pinnacle Award, presented by Northamptonshire Business Awards’ headline sponsor Wilson Browne Solicitors, went to O’Sullivan Financial Planning, based at Lamport near Brixworth.
The Northamptonshire Business Awards were organised by Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce. Its chief executive Louise Wall said: “What a night. The Northamptonshire Business Awards 2024 celebrated everything that is fantastic about our local community and the incredible businesspeople within it.
“Our awards champion hard work, tenacity, determination and success and I speak on behalf of the entire team at the Chamber of how proud we are not just for all the awards winners but every single one of this year’s amazing finalists.
“Their stories, their journeys and their achievements were a joy to witness.”
The 300 guests enjoyed a sumptuous three-course dinner and entertainment on the evening.
The Chamber’s group commercial director Sunny Singh said: “A huge thank you once again to our sponsors, all attendees, the brilliant staff at Sywell Aerodrome and the Chamber team for all their hard work in organising a wonderful event. We look forward to doing it all again in 2025.”
