Entrepreneurs, company figures and community leaders gathered for the 2025 Keighley & Airedale Business Awards.
The ceremony – at Victoria Hall, Keighley – was hosted by Keighley-born BBC Look North weather presenter, Paul Hudson.
Accolades were handed out across 11 categories.
And each category winner had the chance of taking the coveted Overall Business of the Year crown.
Organisers have hailed the event as a huge success.
Awards chair, Steve Burles, says: “What makes the Keighley & Airedale Business Awards so special is the people behind it – the business owners, their teams and the wider community, who come together to celebrate what’s being achieved in this area.
“Every year we’re reminded that it’s not just about success in business, it’s about the pride, resilience and innovation of the people who make Keighley and Airedale thrive.”
He thanked everyone who supported the event, and congratulated all the winners and finalists.
