Wyre’s business community has enjoyed a string of successes this year and their strong performance seems set to continue. With the launch of the 2018 Wyre Business Awards, local businesses can now highlight their success stories.
Applications are invited for the 21 all-encompassing award categories, that recognise all types and sizes of businesses. There are new award categories this year for rural businesses, corporate social responsibility, health and the third sector, which promotes Wyre as a sense of place and not just business.
The awards are aimed at businesses who are not only located, but who also deliver services within the Wyre geographical footprint and they are particularly seeking applications from professionals, manufacturing, construction, digital and media, and IT businesses.
The Wyre Business Awards are not only for senior management/owners to think about, but also employees of businesses. Do you think your employer should be applying this year?
Do you work for a business which you believe:
– Invests in its employee’s development via training?
– Contributes towards the reduction of carbon and demonstrates green processes as part of their business model?
– Has a woman who is an inspiration to other women in the business or geographical area?
– Contributes or helps its local community?
The Wyre Business Awards want to harness and celebrate businesses success stories and promote these achievements within Wyre and the wider Lancashire footprint.
Councillor Michael Vincent, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Economic Development, commented: “I would like to encourage all businesses in Wyre to enter for a Wyre Business Award and celebrate their successes.
“It’s our fifth year and it’s going to be the biggest and best event yet! Wyre represents businesses of all shapes and sizes and we want to showcase those and support you in celebrating in the biggest business event in Wyre. Please apply for an award today, so we can collectively celebrate and promote your businesses success.”
This year’s ceremony will be hosted at the Marine Hall, Fleetwood on Thursday 29 November. It will feature a drinks reception, three-course meal by Twelve Restaurant, entertainment by Daniel Sings and a fantastic atmosphere.
Wyre Business Awards is one of the most prestigious events in the footprint. It gives businesses a chance to promote their achievements, raise their profile and gain the recognition they deserve.
This, combined with the chance to mingle with shortlisted companies, sponsors and partner organisations of Wyre, ensures a memorable evening and a fantastic opportunity to network and build connections for the future growth of your business and Wyre.
The application deadline is Friday 12 October at 5pm.
