North East Automotive Alliance Annual Awards 2024

The NEAA Annual Awards are back! Continuing its mission to celebrate and champion automotive excellence, the NEAA Annual Awards will return in 2024, with the winners to be announced at the dinner on Thursday 28th March at Ramside Hall Hotel in Durham.

The NEAA Annual Awards are designed to recognise some of the brightest talent and outstanding achievements of companies shaping the North East automotive industry.

Donations will be awarded to schools and school engagement programmes to help raise awareness of the importance of STEM and the attractiveness of a career within the automotive sector. The awards are supported by some of the region’s most dynamic, forward-looking and successful automotive companies and to date have donated over £60,000 towards supporting future talent.

The NEAA Annual Awards present an excellent opportunity for companies and individuals to be publicly recognised and rewarded for their achievements.

The NEAA team is urging members to get involved. At a time when recruitment and retention is challenging, what better way to boost employee morale and add credibility to your company?! Business awards can be an overlooked tool in your marketing toolbox. Just being shortlisted can improve brand awareness and promote your business to new customers. The application process doesn’t require a lot of time or expense but can be a great way of recording your annual business activity and reaffirming your success.
