Our Chair to fulfil his duties as High Sheriff

Our Chairman, Bill Holroyd, the High Sheriff of Cheshire, has announced the finalists for the High Sheriff of Cheshire Enterprise Awards, in its celebratory 10^th Anniversary year, which will raise money for our Youth Zone mission.

The cream of the county’s business community has been unveiled by Bill, with the announcement of the finalists for the High Sheriff of Cheshire Enterprise Awards in the build up to the annual awards night on Tuesday, March 8 at Chester Racecourse.

The High Sheriff of Cheshire Enterprise Awards judges visited finalists in December and are in the process of making recommendations for the awards night.

A new category – Award for Training, Development and Opportunity for Young People – is launched this year for the range of businesses in the region who support the growth of young people.

To mark the 10^th anniversary celebratory year, Bill will also make a special presentation of a ‘best of the best’ award to one of the previous winners of the overall High Sheriff’s Award for Enterprise.  Bill is kindly donating £10,000 to the chosen charity of the winner.
