Oldham Business Awards bash is sold out

The tenth anniversary 2018 Oldham Business Awards ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on Friday, May 11, has officially sold out.

All tickets - 56 tables will be full - have been snapped up well in advance for what promises to be a terrific celebration.

Dayna Patterson, steering committee member and Marketing Manager at Innovative Technology - one of the headline sponsors of the Oldham Business Awards - said: "The 2018 event will be a great celebration of business in Oldham.

"This year marks our tenth anniversary so it’s going to be a very special night.

"The awards have become the main event in the Oldham Business community social calendar, and are wholly funded by private sponsorship and organised by a group of volunteers.

"With Rory Bremner as our MC, we’re all in for a great night, then after the awards ceremony Revolution Radio are hosting an after-show party so guests can party into the small hours."

Judging panels, which include representatives of the category sponsors, reviewed all this year’s business award entries at the start of the year before shortlisting three finalists for each of the ten categories.

Their decisions are shown below and congratulations go to all finalists.

A special recognition award will also be presented on the night.

TV impressionist Rory Bremner will bring his unique brand of humour to Queen Elizabeth Hall.

He has twice won the British Comedy Award for Top Male Performer plus the BAFTA Best Light Entertainment Award.
