Lancashire businesses on track for success at E3 Awards

e3 2

The 48 finalists in the 2014 E3 Business Awards have been revealed - with 19 of the nominated organisations and individuals based in Lancashire.

The awards, which are organised by Blackburn-based 1 Events Media (1EM), will be presented at an awards dinner on Thursday 18th September 2014 at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton. 1EM managing director Mubarak Chati commented "We were really impressed by the number and calibre of the nominees.

Perhaps it's testament to a recovering economy or just to the relentless 'can do' spirit that characterises the North West, but whatever the reason, the quality of entrants has been superb."

The E3 Awards are designed to recognise successful and innovative businesses from all sections of the North West community. They focus on enterprise, education and employment – the three Es that are so crucial to the growth and stability of the region’s economy.

Tickets for the awards dinner are now available. More details can be found at www.e3businessawards.co.uk.
