With seven categories, the annual event recognises and celebrates outstanding business performance among private organisations of all sizes in Cheshire, Halton and Warrington.
As well as the chance to pick up an esteemed award, the annual competition gives winners and finalists the chance to raise their profile and gain regional recognition.

The Office of the High Sheriff is a Royal post, which dates back to Saxon times. The current High Sheriff of Cheshire, Susan Sellers, said: “As High Sheriff of Cheshire for 2014/15 I am delighted to support these valuable awards and hope they will both give encouragement to and act as a showcase for many of the fantastic businesses and business people that we have across Cheshire, Warrington and Halton.”
