Local radio personality, Andy Giddings is returning as the host one of the premier events in the local business calendar - the Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards.

This year's awards evening will again be held at the Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham on Friday, October 13.

In a broadcasting career spanning more than 17 years, Andy Giddings is one of BBC Radio Sheffield's best known voices.

Andy has also commentated on football, rugby league and rugby union on national television and radio.

The journalist and broadcaster is currently the sports editor at BBC Radio Sheffield and hosts the Praise & Grumble broadcast following that day's football fixtures.

During the evening Andy will announce award winners of twelve different categories as well as announcing the Chamber's Charity of the Year and the winner of the much sought-after Business of the Year, selected from the winning entries.

The awards are open to organisations of all sizes in all industries with an "S" postcode (within the Sheffield City Region) and all members of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, regardless of location. Entries close on September 1 2017.
