Get voting for best businesses

THE public can have their say on the best businesses in Doncaster – but the voting deadline is drawing close.

Voting is open for The People’s Choice at this year’s Doncaster Business Awards but will close at 11.59 pm this Sunday, October 15 to cast votes via Doncaster Chamber's website.

Two health trusts are among the finalists – Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust.A number of Dearne Valley businesses are also in the running in the category including Wath-based IT asset disposal company S2S Group, social enterprise Flourish in Balby, and carbon off-setting firm, Highland Carbon based in Tickhill.

While the rest of the accolades at the Business Awards all undergo rigorous judging process, the winner of The People’s Choice will instead be determined through a public ballot.

Jade Dyer, business director at Doncaster Chamber, said: “Although we are very proud of the thoroughness and integrity of our existing judging process — and how it ensures that deserving winners are recognised year after year — we thought that it was only right that the business community itself gets to have a say in who takes home a trophy.

“That’s why we have decided to introduce The People’s Choice Award for 2023.”

All of the winners will be revealed at the Doncaster Business Awards ceremony at Doncaster Racecourse on Thursday, December 7.
