Are you a food and drink business in Northumberland looking for advice on how to develop and grow your business?

Join Business Northumberland at The Alnwick Garden on Wednesday 18th July for this FREE event which will offer you a full day of business support from industry experts.

North East tourism businesses are being encouraged to enter the North East England Tourism Awards (NEETA), with applications now open.

The North East England Tourism Awards celebrate the best in the industry throughout the region, highlighting the North East’s exciting visitor offering.

Winners at the Awards have the opportunity to represent the North East and compete on a national stage at VisitEngland’s Awards for Excellence.

Hexham Enterprise Hub @ Eastburn is based in the attractive and tranquil grounds of Northumberland National Park Authority’s Hexham offices.

Designed to provide flexible, professional office space for rural businesses, the Hexham Enterprise Hub comprises a mixed range of offices within the Eastburn building itself, including a ground floor hot desk room as well as a number of detached office ‘pods’ set within the tranquil grounds.

 VisitEngland and the AA* have agreed updated common standards and criteria for hotels and self-catering accommodation in the UK. 

The revised guidelines will ensure that, wherever the accommodation business in the UK, an official star rated property will mean consistent standards. 

The awards are now officially open for entry. Submitting an entry is completely free of charge, award winners gain a competitive edge through recognition of their commitment to excellence and quality standards. There is no limit to the number of applications you can submit, just ensure you check the eligibility criteria. 

We would encourage as many Northumberland businesses as possible to enter. 

Some of the finest locally produced food and drink will take centre stage in a special showcase event in the Houses of Parliament.

MPs and government ministers will be able to find out more about the fantastic local businesses and top quality produce that is being promoted under the Produced  In Northumberland brand.
