Held at the iconic Tileyard North in Wakefield, the event brought together an inspiring group of businesses, entrepreneurs, and leaders from the Wakefield area to celebrate innovation, resilience, and community impact. This recognition is a significant milestone for our team and highlights the strides we’ve made over the past six years to establish Dark Cherry Creative as a trusted and impactful creative agency.
The Wakefield Business Awards, organised to celebrate the exceptional contributions of local businesses, offer a unique opportunity for companies to showcase their achievements, reflect on their journey, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs. Categories across the awards range from recognising young businesses to acknowledging those making large-scale impacts on the local economy and beyond.
A Special Recognition for Dark Cherry Creative
Being shortlisted for the Small Business, Large Impact award is a reflection of Dark Cherry Creative’s dedication to creating powerful and meaningful marketing strategies for our clients. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with local businesses, national brands, and non-profits, providing tailored creative solutions that tell their stories and build lasting connections with their audiences. This nomination underscores our commitment to making a difference for our clients and within our local community.
Reflecting on this honour, Richard Mansfield, Co-founder and Marketing Director of Dark Cherry Creative, said, “It was an honour to be shortlisted in the first place, but to then share the room with some great businesses from across the Wakefield area was awesome, the event was a great success and we enjoyed every minute, certainly something we hope to attend in the future.”
The Evening at Tileyard North, Wakefield

Tileyard North, known for its creative energy and modern atmosphere, provided the perfect setting for recognising the year’s business successes, with a fantastic turnout of businesses and supporters. The night was not only a chance to celebrate our own achievements but also to witness the impact and resilience of so many other local companies that continue to drive Wakefield’s economy forward.
While we didn’t take home the award this year, being recognised among so many outstanding businesses has energised us for the year ahead. The nomination itself affirms that Dark Cherry Creative’s impact is being felt, and we’re motivated to continue pushing boundaries in our creative work and strengthening relationships within our community.
