Organised by Morecrofts Solicitors the MIB Awards are now in their sixth year and celebrate the talents of small business owners and entrepreneurs across the Liverpool city region

Time is running out to get your entries in for the Merseyside Independent Business Awards with the August 31 deadline now looming.

Organised by Morecrofts Solicitors and supported by headline sponsor Liverpool BID Company, the MIB Awards are now in their sixth year and celebrate the talents of small business owners and entrepreneurs across the Liverpool city region.

Details of all 13 categories can be found at www.mibawards.co.uk as well as top tips on how to write a compelling award submission.

Each award winner will be announced at a ceremony at Liverpool’s Rum Warehouse on Thursday, October 18.  The overall Merseyside Independent Business of the Year will also be revealed on the night, with the winner receiving a business support package worth £5,000.

Alison Lobb, managing partner of Morecrofts, said: “The MIB Awards have become a real highlight in the events calendar because they reach out to those areas of the regional business community that are often untouched by other awards ceremonies.

“Businesses of all shapes and sizes are doing some amazing things across the Liverpool city region and we really think they deserve greater recognition.

“Each year the volume of entries grows and this year is certainly no exception. There’s just three weeks until the deadline and we’d urge all those thinking about entering to make this year, the year they do.”
