Merry Christmas from team Tees Business!
As 2025 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to thank every one of our readers, partners, contributors and supporters for being part of another incredible year for Tees Business.
While 2025 has had its challenges for many businesses, it has been another positive year of Talking Up Teesside over the last 12 months as we’ve celebrated 10 years of Tees Business.
We’ve enjoyed shining a spotlight light on all the good news from our business community.
From national award-winning firms to fast-emerging local talent, the depth and diversity of success across Teesside has never been stronger.
Our tenth anniversary year has also been one of our most memorable.
The eighth annual Tees Businesswomen Awards celebrated some of the region’s most inspiring female leaders, while also recognising justice campaigner Ann Ming MBE with the Jane Turner Award for Outstanding Contribution.
We also delivered the sixth annual Tees Tech Awards, the fourth Tees Business Awards and the third annual VelociTees, celebrating the region’s fastest-growing businesses.
And our Tees Business LIVE events brought together hundreds of businesspeople to share ideas, strengthen relationships and explore opportunities for collaboration.
None of this would be possible without your continued engagement, energy and support.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to continue telling the stories that matter, championing the businesses that make Teesside special and shining a light on the people who help our region thrive.
We’ll be bringing you more interviews, more events, more in-depth features and more opportunities to connect with the Tees business community.
But for now, as the year winds down, we hope you’re able to take some well-earned time to relax, recharge and celebrate with those who matter most.
From all of us at Tees Business, thank you for being part of our journey. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful New Year.
Here’s to a positive year for the Tees region in 2026.
