St Helens Chamber and St Helens Borough Council are delighted to now reveal the shortlisted entrants for the 2022 St Helens Borough Business Awards.
The standard of entries was extremely high this year and the judges spent hours of their time deliberating – and were blown away by the achievements of businesses across the Borough.
David Marnell, Head of Business Services at St Helens Chamber, commented: “We have been overwhelmed by the volume and calibre of entries to the Awards, but we have a very strong shortlist and all the businesses and students who entered should be proud of their achievements and successes.
“We are now excited to see the winners revealed later in the year and bring their stories into the limelight.”
Cllr Kate Groucutt, Cabinet Member for Business, Education and Skills at St Helens Borough Council, commented: “It is fantastic that so many businesses and students across St Helens Borough have achieved so much and we can’t wait to celebrate their success.
“By celebrating their successes and shining a spotlight on the entrepreneurship and innovation that is happening in our borough, we can inspire the next generation and encourage more businesses to set up or relocate here. Everyone who entered should be proud of the contribution they are making to our community.”
The St Helens Borough Business Awards which are sponsored by Paramount Digital, and supported by Brendon International, City Fibre, Faun Zoeller and Halton & St Helens VCA are designed to recognise and celebrate the success and accomplishments of individuals and businesses from all sectors.
The winners in each category will be unveiled at a glamourous Awards Ceremony, taking place on Friday 30th September at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
The winning businesses in the national awards categories will be entered into the British Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, which will take place in December.
