Insider partners major business awards
The Morgan Foundation, created by Redrow founder and Bridgemere chairman Steve Morgan, has this morning launched the second year of its Entrepreneur Awards, a competition created to encourage entrepreneurship in Merseyside, West Cheshire, North Wales, Shropshire and the Wolverhampton area, after a hugely successful event last year. This year Insider is acting as media partner for the awards, which are sponsored by Barclays. Winners and runners-up will receive prizes worth £150,000 in money and professional services at a glittering awards ceremony being held at the Carden Park Hotel on 20 November. Among the confirmed event partners are Deloitte and Mace & Jones.

Five categories offering cash prizes
The Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards are divided into five categories: best new business under four years old; best entrepreneur or business providing an economic and social contribution to the region; best young entrepreneur under the age of 25; best social enterprise or charity; and the Against All Odds award. The final award will recognise people that have overcome disabilities or social disadvantage to achieve success. For more details on the awards and to enter, visit www.mf-awards.co.uk . The closing date for entries is 12 September 2008. 
Recipe for success
At last year's awards So Baby, a Chester-based manufacturer of handmade frozen organic baby meals, won the main £50,000 prize in the best new business category. Established in September 2005 by partners Chris Larkin and Sarah Dennison, the company is set to become a trailblazer in the UK organic baby food arena and the prize money will be invested in the growth of the business.
