Finalists revealed for Marketing Cheshire’s Annual Awards

Marketing Cheshire 17/11/2021

The prestigious awards recognise excellence

The finalists for Marketing Cheshire’s Annual Awards have been revealed.

The prestigious awards recognise excellence and outstanding achievement by local businesses and individuals working in Cheshire and Warrington’s visitor economy.

Categories include Pub of the Year, Large Visitor Attraction of the Year, Small Visitor Attraction of the Year and the Unsung Hero Award.

A range of businesses, large and small, are nominated this year including Chester Zoo, Tatton Park and Cheshire Falconry.

The winners in each category will be revealed at the awards ceremony on Thursday, March 24 2022 at Nunsmere Hall.

Many of the winners will go on to represent Cheshire at the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2022 and showcase what the county has to offer on a national level.

Nicola Said, commercial director at Marketing Cheshire said: “This is the 16th year of these awards and after last year’s cancellation it’s great to see so many of our businesses get involved and make the shortlist.

“We know how difficult the past 18 months have been for tourism and hospitality businesses and these awards are an opportunity for us to shine a light on the organisations and individuals that make our visitor economy so successful and special.

“This year we have launched a new category – the Resilience and Innovation Award. So many businesses had to look at new ways of making money and serving their guests and this award is our way of celebrating that.

“We are looking forward to crowning our winners next year and seeing them go on to represent Cheshire on a national stage. I’d like to thank everyone for taking the opportunity to enter as well as our sponsors for their support.”

This year’s event is sponsored by Insight6, Hipswing, Pear Communications and Digitickets.
