Well we must be doing something right, otherwise there’s no way we would have been nominated for Best Newcomer at the BusinessDesk.com North West Business Masters Awards 2011. An accolade in itself no less.
It’s nice to know that people are recognising all the hard work we’ve put in over the last year, making sleepless nights and early mornings even more worthwhile. The regional business information site has invited us to see how we fair at Lancashire County Cricket Club on April 7th, where lunch will be served along with trophies for the winners.
Now the shortlist has been released the readers will get to decide on the contenders’ fate, so fingers are well and truly crossed on Mount Street… albeit while holding a cup of coffee, answering the phone and scrolling our social media dashboard with the help of a Magic Mouse. There’s some stiff competition too. Our friends at Journey 9 are also in the running, along with Envestors, Insight with Passion and MyParcelDelivery.com, meaning competition is fierce, but affectionate.
