Businesses go the extra mile
Lincoln has got some gems when it comes to businesses.
The proof was in evidence at the GEM awards ceremony organised by the Lincoln Business Improvement Group.
GEM stands for Going the Extra Mile and all the nominees and winners had been judged by an independent, specialised company, Proinsight to ensure all participating businesses are treated fairly and equally.
Lee Roberts, Head of Operations at Lincoln BIG commented: “It was a fantastic evening, and it was great to see how much the awards have grown shown through the impressive number of nominees we had this year.
“Lincoln BIG takes pride in championing our members and celebrating local businesses of all sectors, and our GEM Awards are the perfect opportunity to honour this. We’re already counting down to the 2025 GEM Awards and it promises to be even bigger and better.”
