Gorvins Solicitors helps shortlist best businesses in Stockport

Now in its fourth year of association with the Stockport Business Awards Gorvins Solicitors joined a distinguished panel of judges to agree the contenders for the 2015 prizes last week.

The leading law firm is one of the founder members of the initiative which has attracted record entries this year and enjoys fantastic support on the awards night itself, scheduled for October 15th at the Town Hall.

Sponsoring Business of the Year up to £1m category again Gorvins expressed congratulations to all nominated companies – some in the running in several categories – and said the standard of entry was higher than ever.

Lorraine Lockie, Gorvins’ Managing Partner and member of the judging panel said: “We offer our very best wishes to those nominated in our category, Ahoy Digital, Pioneer Electrical Solutions and Trust Brand Communications, and to the other 27 hopefuls across 12 categories.

“Of the 100 original entries we are confident, as a judging panel, that we have identified the right finalists. They are all strong, well-led businesses that deserve this recognition. We are delighted to be involved for a 4th year in what has become a highlight event for Stockport’s business community.”

Hosted for the first time at the Town Hall the 2015 event will attract hundreds of people as it usually does, but the new venue will accommodate more this year.

The benefiting charity this year is St Ann’s Hospice and there is a new category sponsored by news and event portal We Are Stockport to find Hidden Gem of the year. Finalists in this will be announced separately.

Gorvins sit as main sponsors of the Stockport Business Awards alongside Orbit Developments and Nat West. For the full list of finalists go to www.stockportbusinessawards.co.uk.
