We’re incredibly proud to share that Juice Personnel is a finalist in the 2026 Wakefield Business Awards.

Our very own Marta Rybak has been shortlisted in the Shining Star category in this year’s awards which celebrate excellence, innovation and achievement across the district, recognising the businesses, organisations and individuals making a positive contribution to Wakefield’s economy and community.

The Shining Star category is particularly special as it recognises an individual who stands out for the contribution they make, something we think sums Marta up perfectly.

Kelly Smith, Director of Juice Personnel, said: “To see Marta recognised as a Shining Star finalist is really special and thoroughly deserved. We know how much she puts into her role every day, so it’s lovely to see that commitment recognised beyond Juice too.”

Claire Sutherley, Founder of the Wakefield Business Awards and Managing Director of We Are Wakefield, said: "The response to this year's awards has been phenomenal, with a record number of entries showcasing the breadth of talent, innovation and ambition across our district.

“To be named a finalist is no small achievement. The standard of submissions was exceptionally high, and our judges had some incredibly difficult decisions to make. Our finalists represent the very best of Wakefield's business, charity and public sectors."

The winners will be announced at the Wakefield Business Awards ceremony at WX Wakefield on Thursday 12 November 2026, bringing together organisations and individuals from across the district to celebrate another fantastic year for Wakefield.
