“I will always be committed to supporting businesses who choose to locate and start-up in Salford. They bring jobs and investment to the city and need to be celebrated through events like the Salford Business Awards.”

Paul Wainwright, chair of The Business Group Salford, added: “The Salford Business Awards is now well established as a permanent fixture in the North West events calendar and attracts businesses of all sizes from all sectors. Speaking as a member of the judging panel it is always inspiring to see the calibre of entrants and a challenge to choose the winners. I look forward to an equally difficult decision this year.”
