Over 400 businesspeople from across the region attended the celebration (July 5th), which was organised by Platinum Media Group and hosted by comedian, Jo Caulfield.
The event was made up of 15 categories and recognises accomplishments made across all aspects of business, from personal successes to outstanding contributions.
Maarten Hoffmann, managing director at Platinum Media Group or organiser, said: “The awards are an opportunity to celebrate Central South's vibrant business community and to recognise the achievements of those who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service, results and products.
“The Awards, now in their second year, attracted an excellent mix of applications from all business sizes and sectors, with the standard of applications being very high. I’d like to congratulate all the winners and shortlisted finalists of this year’s awards.”
A total of 85 finalists were shortlisted – with a special commendation presented to Southampton Airport for its runway extension and outstanding contribution to the regional economy.
