Sub36 Awards finalists revealed

The final shortlist of this year’s Sub36 Awards has been unveiled, naming the leaders and difference-makers in the running for a much sought after prize package.

The Sub36 Awards, which culminates in a colourful prize-giving ceremony at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on October 17, honours the county’s most exciting business prospects aged Sub36.

From apprentices and trainees at the very beginnings of their careers through to entrepreneurs running their own organisations, the Sub36 Awards recognises achievements at every level.

And this year’s finalists spans a wide variety of industries and backgrounds, with candidates representing professional services, digital media, engineering, health and care and manufacturing.

Competition is fierce as winners receive access to a bespoke mentoring programme provided by Northern Mentoring Programme and a 12 month pass to high level coaching from Sales Geek via their academy.

The 48 individuals, nominated across 10 categories, now have one final chance to impress the panel of judges when they are interviewed at Red Rose Suite at Ewood Park in Blackburn later this month.

Stephanie Whitworth, marketing manager at headline sponsor Fat Media said: “There were so many wonderful stories brought to life through the Sub36 entries, they were a pleasure to read and competition is certainly fierce!
