The latest sponsors announced for the Wakefield Excellence in Business Awards have backed our event to fly the flag for the city’s economy.

Gin company Fords of Wakefield has sponsored the drinks reception for the ceremony.

Director Gary Ford said: “We wanted to sponsor the awards and the drinks reception as we are proud supporters of local industry and always try where possible to support local companies, the rhubarb in our rhubarb and ginger gin was purchased from Earnshaws in Horbury for example.

“The support we have had from local businesses and people has been fantastic. There is a real community spirit in Wakefield, the pubs, bars and restaurants that have given us a chance by stocking our gin have been at the core of our success.”
