CN Group Business Awards 2009
in association with Invest in Cumbria
A welcome to this year's awards by Neil Hodgkinson, CN Group editorial director:
"It is my pleasure to welcome you once again to these awards celebrating the very best of Cumbria’s business community.
"As we all battle against the effects of the recession it is even more important that we continue to recognise the excellence of those companies and individuals that form the backbone for the future growth of our county.
"We are therefore proud to invite all those involved in industry, business or commerce to take part in this event aimed at promoting the superb business practices we have to offer.
"No firm is too small, no company too large to enter. These awards will highlight the determination, innovation and entrepreneurialism that has led to success both at home and abroad.
They will also highlight the corporate achievement and individual brilliance that help shape our communities and beat the business blues.
"The awards categories and entry guidelines are contained in this brochure. The short-listed candidates will feature in our range of newspapers and on our websites helping to further promote their quality and success.
"And, at the end of the judging process, the winners and runners-up will be announced at a gala dinner at the Rheged Centre offering a fantastic opportunity for networking and recognising local excellence."
