Local business awards open for nominations

ANDREW Gwynne, MP for Denton and Reddish, has opened nominations for his 2020 Local Business Awards.

Mr Gwynne is encouraging constituents to nominate their favourite local businesses from across the Denton and Reddish constituency for the awards, which celebrate their contribution to the local economy and communities.Last year more than 4,000 nominations were received from constituents for 250 local businesses across Audenshaw, Denton, Dukinfield and Reddish. There were winners for each of the seven wards that make up the constituency and one overall winner.

The winner of the awards will be announced on Small Business Saturday, which this year is on December 5.

Mr Gwynne said: “It was been an incredibly difficult time for our local businesses. The pandemic and lockdown have threatened the survival of many and it is clear we are still some way from a return to anything like normality.

“This makes it more important than ever that we celebrate the local businesses that we love and the contribution they make to our lives and communities.

“I would encourage all constituents to show their appreciation by nominating their favourites on my website.”

You can nominate your favourite local businesses on Andrew Gwynne’s website: andrewgwynne.co.uk/local-business-awards-2020/

All nominees need to be in the Denton and Reddish constituency.
