Sophie said: “I’m super-proud to be a judge and North East ambassador for the Elite Business Top 100. Having launched and scaled businesses in the North East, I know what a great place it is to do business. I want to encourage local businesses to put themselves forward so we can put the North East on the map for innovation and entrepreneurial talent.”
Elite Business 100 Finalists will be announced in January 2023 and are entitled to a free directory in the guide and on the Elite Business website. An awards evening will also take place in London on March 17.
