NW Business Masters 2012: North West Newcomer

OUTSTANDING new ventures which have made a great start to commercial life will be celebrated at this year’s North West Business Masters awards.

The Newcomer award – which identifies and recognises the stars of the future – will surely be one of the most closely-fought categories at the awards.

Last year marketing services company Journey9UK clinched the award by a whisker from myParcelDelivery.com – and since then both have gone from strength to strength.

Journey9 has built on its work with Jaguar UK and is now ensuring the luxury car brand is optimising its sponsorship of Manchester City FC, while myParcelDelivery has secured private investment to fuel its rapid growth.

Unlike no other business awards, the Masters will bring together the cream of the North West’s business talent at a high profile lunch-time event, which will be held on April 26th at Manchester’s Midland Hotel.

Shortlisted businesses will be interviewed on the day to showcase their achievements ahead of the winners being revealed.

Chris Barry, editor of TheBusinessDesk.com said: “We know the spirit of enterprise is alive and kicking in this region and we look forward to showcasing and celebrating the success of some of the newly-formed companies already making great strides.”

As well as Newcomer, there are five other categories to enter – North West Ambassador, North West Manufacturer, North West Innovator, North West Exporter and North West Pride – which recognises outstanding CSR.
