James Legal solicitors is calling for final entries into our popular InspiringBusiness2019 competition, for a chance to win over \u00a320,000 of business support.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2019 has been a momentous year for our InspiringBusiness campaign. It has featured some of our most poignant and thought-provoking speakers yet, and attracted the biggest audiences since we first established the concept three years ago.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And we\u2019ll be topping this off by recognising one particularly outstanding local company with a package of support worth over \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen dozens of entries already, from some truly outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises from the Yorkshire & the Humber region, which really highlight the talent we\u2019ve always known was out there,\u201d said James Legal Founder and CEO Nick Miller.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, we want to spread the word that there is still time for any businesses to get their entries in, if they haven\u2019t already, as we don\u2019t want anyone to miss out.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The closing date for competition entries is 31 December and the shortlist will be announced in January. Those picked out by our judges and competition partners as the most outstanding entrants will be invited to a special event on X January, to have chance to demonstrate, face-to-face, why they deserve to take the ultimate prize.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s prize fund, provided by James Legal and our partners, includes the following:<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Specialising in business law, we launched InspiringBusiness as our way of contributing to the vibrancy of the Yorkshire & Humber corporate community, and it has so far brought together almost 1,000 professional people to hear the personal stories of some of the region\u2019s most inspiring ones, at our four annual seminars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This year, we introduced a wellbeing theme to help those taking part achieve a better work\/life balance. We had presentations from people including author and wellbeing coach Gareth Riddy; Lee Solway from Harrison Solway logistics; Leon McQuade of Andy\u2019s Man Club and Christina Colmer-McHugh who has invented the groundbreaking Moodbeam wearable, all talking about their own experiences of why looking after their wellbeing is so important for anyone who is self-employed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Handelsbanken has also remained a key partner for the second year running.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our 2018 winner was innovative building design company BIMSense, and we\u2019ll be hearing how the prize helped their hugely promising enterprise grow in a future blog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
