Finalists in the Grantham Journal Business Awards 2023 are revealed
We are delighted to announce the finalists in the 2023 Grantham Journal Business Awards.
The judges have worked incredibly hard to pick out the top three in each category.
They have made their decisions based on the comprehensive applications submitted by each entrant and nominee.
