There were a record number of entries submitted for the 2019 Wirral Business Awards (WBAs) as organisers reveal those who have made the shortlist.

Organiser Mills Media Creative, supported by Wirral Chamber of Commerce, have published the shortlisted entries across 13 categories ahead of the awards ceremony, taking place at the New Brighton Floral Pavilion on Friday, June 21.

Paula Basnett, chief executive at Wirral Chamber of Commerce, said: “The decisions of which companies or individuals went forward to the final was extremely difficult as there were so many very worthwhile applications.

But as a judging panel we had to make those choices and we have arrived at what we feel is a comprehensive list which covers a wide range of business sectors. These are of outstanding quality, each showing great ambition, enterprise and certainly represent the fantastic work which is carried out in our business community.”
