Held at the stunning Hazlewood Castle Hotel in Tadcaster, Leeds, this year’s event marked the second edition of the pioneering awards, founded by multi-award-winning spiritual business strategist Vicki Chisholm. More than an awards ceremony, the Business Ascension Awards are redefining what business recognition looks like by combining professional development, community and celebration into one transformational experience.

Unlike traditional awards that simply recognise achievement, the Business Ascension Symposium & Awards begins with a full-day business symposium featuring expert speakers, practical business strategies and transformational workshops. The experience continues with a prestigious black-tie awards ceremony before culminating in an exclusive VIP Business Growth Day, giving finalists, winners and attendees the opportunity to work directly with industry experts to accelerate their businesses.

Having overcome years of domestic abuse to rebuild her own life and business, Vicki has become a respected spiritual and business coach, speaker, author and leader who empowers entrepreneurs to combine intuition with commercial success. Her mission is to demonstrate that spirituality and business are not separate worlds, but powerful partners in creating sustainable, impactful enterprises.

The awards celebrate entrepreneurs who are making a genuine difference through conscious leadership, ethical business practices and transformational impact. A unique element of the judging process is the emphasis placed on testimonials and real-world evidence, ensuring winners are recognised not only for business growth but for the lives they have changed and the communities they have positively influenced.
