Finalists announced for Morgan Entrepreneur awards

THE finalists have been announced in this year’s Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards. In total, there are 33 finalists across seven different categories. They are one step closer to winning one of 17 cash prizes, totalling £115,000, as well as a package of professional services.

The eventual winners and runners-up will be revealed on November 10 at the 2011 Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner to be held at the Carden Park Hotel, near Chester.

The awards, which are sponsored by Redrow, attracted a record number of entries from charities, social enterprises, businesses and entrepreneurs from Merseyside, Cheshire, Shropshire, North Wales and the Wolverhampton area.

Having got over the first hurdle, each of the short-listed candidates will now be quizzed by a panel of experts.

These will include the founder of the awards – businessman and Wolves Chairman Steve Morgan – and senior representatives from Barclays, Deloitte and other significant businessmen and women from across the region.

Steve Morgan said that he was looking forward to meeting the finalists in person.

“The first round judges had a difficult task, the final panel an even tougher one,” he said.

“The standard is extremely high, so the judges need to really understand the businesses and the entrepreneurs behind them before we can decide who will lift the prizes.”
