Month: May 2015

Bowker Motor Group are delighted to be a category sponsor for the Ribble Valley Business Awards 2015. There will be 16 award categories, celebrating and bringing together the very best that the RIbble Valley has to offer.

Ribble Valley Business Awards 2015 is organised by Enterprising People, in association with a team of Ribble Valley volunteer enterprise mentors. Our aim is to recognise and celebrate the enterprising people and businesses that make Ribble Valley such a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

We are determined to make participating in this competition as simple as possible.

How it works:

When nominations open on July 9th, visit the nominations page of this site you will find a very simple form on which you can nominate a Ribble Valley business for the Bowland BioEnergy Award or the Customer Friendly Business Award, or a local person for the Enterprising Person Award. 

When you submit your nomination, we contact the business you have nominated and invite them to enter the competition by completing an entry form. On the entry form they can choose which other award categories they would like to enter. We ask them to provide us information about why their business should win the award categories they want to enter. This helps the judging panel consider all the entries in September.

Judging is divided into two activities: shortlisting and deciding the winners. The judging panel consists of members of our volunteer mentoring team. A representative of the category sponsor joins the judging panel for the award they sponsor. 

If a business is shortlisted in any award category they get a free ticket to the Awards Ceremony on October 15th. 

The winners are announced at the Ceremony, where they will receive a framed certificate and a trophy which has been designed and made by Ribblesdale High School.
