Sub36 Awards finalists revealed

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

From fresh faces at the very beginning of their careers through to more experienced individuals who have already begun to establish their reputations, thirteen categories are packed with finalists within reach of a sought-after trophy.

The Sub36 Awards ceremony, which will take place virtually this year on Thursday 22 October to name the winners, honours the county’s most exciting business prospects aged Sub36. On the night, Lancashire Business View will also honour a young person in business who has risen to the challenges that the coronavirus pandemic has brought with the Sub36 Hero Award.

One individual from each category will earn major kudos, a winner’s trophy, an exclusive mentoring through the Northern Mentoring Programme and 12 months access to sales support from Sales Geek.

But first, all 52 finalists must present their case to a panel of judges. A fully fledged judging day will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 23 September, where each shortlisted individual will make a presentation and answer questions from the judges.

This panel, consisting of local business figures and sponsors, will then select their worthy winners - which will be kept secret until the big night in October.
