2012 Salford Business Awards Finalists Announced

The finalists for the 2012 Salford Business Awards sponsored by TalkTalk Technology have now been announced.  The Awards, organised by the University of Salford, The Business Group Salford and Salford City Council are now in their fifth year.  The winners will be announced at the award ceremony which takes place at Salford City Stadium on the 31st May.

University of Salford Vice Chancellor Professor Martin Hall said:  ‘We’re proud to be part of these awards, and to help in celebrating great stories of business innovation.’

Paul Wainwright, Chair of The Business Group commented:  ‘Once again we’ve had a record number of entries and our finalists reflect the diverse nature of the vibrant Salford business community.  Choosing the finalists has been even more difficult than in previous years and all who entered should be proud of their achievements to date.  We very much look forward to joining them in celebrating their successes and continued growth at the award ceremony on the 31st May.’

Salford’s City Mayor, Ian Stewart, said:  ‘The people shortlisted for these awards make such a great contribution to this city that it is absolutely right that they receive recognition for the fantastic work they do.’

‘Now, more than ever, we need to be supporting our business community, as they have the potential to provide the economic lift we need to bring jobs and prosperity to the city. The achievement of these companies, despite tough economic times, is testament to the great work that is going on in Salford. We will continue to work with all businesses to support their continued success in the city.’
