Businesses celebrate success at NLBA as town’s MP praises British Steel and Chamber’s Super Trooper at Scunthorpe’s Baths Hall

THE 2025 Northern Lincolnshire Business Awards were held at Scunthorpe’s Baths Hall where the town’s MP gave a passionate speech to the Humber business community praising the town’s steelworks which he was instrumental in saving and heralding its now bright future.

Sir Nic Dakin’s tribute and strong endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce and the work it does, received a rapturous round of applause from nearly four hundred guests who had gathered to celebrate the best of business in the region.

Guests at the Mamma Mia themed evening hear Sir Nic refer to the Chamber’s Super Trooper Chief Executive Ian Kelly in his pun-filled speech, before guests enjoyed a fabulous Greek style dinner prepared by the Lincolnshire Chef before being entertained by local students from Grimsby Institute and North Lindsey College and the cast of Mamma Mia who have performed in the West End theatres, as well as on Broadway, singing some of the Swedish superstars’ favourite anthems which got people dancing at the tables and waving their arms.

But the biggest stars of the night were the award winning businesses and nominees, who were all winners just for being there. Special awards went to Alex Baxter for Services to Armed Forces Weekend and NELC Chief Executive Rob Walsh for Services to North East Lincolnshire.

Thanks go to P66 for being our headline sponsor again this year, and to all our sponsors for helping to make the night such a success and so memorable.
