Businesses from across the region can now submit entries for the prestigious Finance Awards North West.
Returning for the second year, the Finance Awards North West is the only accolade of its kind to recognise the work and achievements of the region’s top finance professionals and businesses.
Bigger than ever, the awards will feature new categories – Diversity in Finance and Financial Controller of the Year, as well as the hotly contested annual competition for Rising Star of the Year, Finance Team of the Year and Innovation in Finance.
Applicants will be judged by a panel of industry leaders in the region – last year this included Premier Foods, The Alchemist, and Carrington Textiles. Deadline for entries is Friday 5 July 2019.
