Morgan calls for businesses to get involved
Steve Morgan, chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, has urged businesses, entrepreneurs, charities and social enterprises in the region to enter this year's Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards.
Entrants have until 2 September to submit their applications to the awards. The event, now in its fifth year, has £115,000 in cash prizes and services up for grabs.
Morgan said: "Unlike many others these awards offer substantial cash prizes, so the winners and runners-up get more than just a pat on the back, they get a capital injection that can make a real difference to their businesses."
There are seven categories to enter, including a new category for 2011 aimed at young entrepreneurs with a new business idea. The awards are also searching for businesses that have made an economic or social contribution to the region.
They are open to businesses, entrepreneurs, charities and social enterprises located in Merseyside, west Cheshire, Shropshire, North Wales and the Wolverhampton area.
Morgan added: "If there aren’t the jobs out there, let's encourage them to help themselves and, maybe, become the employers of the future."
The main sponsor of the Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards is Redrow, co-sponsors and event partners are Deloitte, Brabners Chaffe Street, Liverpool Vision, DRP Group, Insider Media, Public Image and NMC Design+Print.
