Alternative Business Awards 2024

The Alternative Business Awards returned for the 6th time on Wednesday 19th June 2024; held at The Y Theatre and hosted by comedian Pat Monahan.

 

The event provides an opportunity for the business community to come together, show their fun side and help to raise funds to support the work of Big Difference (the charity behind Leicester Comedy Festival). The Awards Ceremony aims to recognise individuals and groups in a number of comical, warm hearted, celebratory and ‘alternative’ business award categories.

 

The Alternative Business Awards 2024 were delighted to be supported again by Associate Sponsors ER Recruitment Ltd and Red Monkey Play. With thanks also to Niche Magazine who returned as Media Partner. We were also happy to be joined by PPL PRS as Music Sponsor.

 

A BIG thank you to all the Sponsors, nominees, winners and everyone who joined us and supported the event.

 

Please take a look at our Winners on the night below. Congratulations to all nominees and winners!

 

We’ll be setting a date soon for next year’s event and we hope you can join us!
