Kath Boullen, Chief Executive at St Helens Chamber, commented: “It was fantastic to read all the entries and see how well so many of our local businesses are doing, despite a year of uncertainty.
“The standard of entries was very high and I’m confident that we have a very deserving shortlist.”
The winners in each category will be unveiled at the St Helens Chamber Annual Dinner & Business Awards, taking place on Thursday 16th May at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Sponsored by GPW Recruitment and supported by Bericote and NatWest, tickets are on sale now for the event priced at just £45+VAT for Chamber Members and £55+VAT for Non-Members.
The winning businesses will be entered into the national Chamber Awards which take place in London in November.
Kath Boullen added: “Last year was our first awards and we’re very pleased that they have been so well received. Our winners from last year were put forward to the national Chamber Awards and we were delighted to have four finalists amongst our Members who went down to the national finals in London.”
