Business awards set for record year

ENTRIES are flooding in from all sectors of Oldham business for the 2015 One Oldham Business Awards.

The eighth gala awards dinner will be at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on May 15. Chair Steve Kilroy said entries are on course for a record number with two months still to go, and the event could attract more than 500 attendees for the first time.

Mr Kilroy leads a group of eight Oldham volunteers who organise and run the NatWest-sponsored awards, which are supported by the Oldham Chronicle and Oldham Council.

Once again this year there will be 10 categories, all detailed on the awards website (www.oldhambusinessawards.co.uk).

This year the judging will be more rigorous than for previous years. Entry forms can be downloaded from the website. All finalists receive two tickets for the event.
