... More Awards news
|
One of the premier events in the business calendar for South Cumbria, North Lancashire and the Dales is now open for entries. There are 11 awards categories covering every facet of business achievement and enterprise. The winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony to be held at the Castle Green Hotel, Kendal, on Friday, September 16.
The Gazette’s excellent Business and Tourism Awards give us the opportunity to celebrate that success and take pride in local achievements and innovation. Everyone wants to be a winner! But the Gazette’s awards give us the chance to enjoy our collective successes, with the South Lakes continuing to out- perform the rest of the UK.
We have such a wealth of enterprise and business talent across Cumbria, and it is excellent that The Westmorland Gazette is celebrating this with these awards. I would urge as many businesses and individuals as possible to put themselves forward.
This awards scheme is another great way of recognising and rewarding the hard work and high standards that exist in the tourism industry, one of the most important industries in Cumbria. We would encourage tourism businesses to enter these awards and help shout about their successes to both residents and visitors alike.
We’d definitely encourage firms to apply and get recognition for their hard-earned achievements during difficult times for industries. I saw some tremendous examples of enterprise last year — I am looking forward to hearing their success stories and seeing them up on stage.
Everyone at was proud the company received the award. The awards ceremony was a fantastic evening. I would certainly encourage businesses to enter the awards. It is a source of pride for the company and encouragement to continually strive to improve. |
