For the second year running, M & C Risk Solutions have been shortlisted at the Oldham Business Awards, for the Dawn Torrington Business Of The Year. Altogether, 33 businesses and individuals have been shortlisted for the 11 awards, and the winners will be revealed at a glittering gala dinner on 13th September 2024 at Oldham’s iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall.
Now in their 16th year, the awards recognise and reward excellence, acumen, and entrepreneurial spirit among Oldham’s business community, and also celebrate the contribution that local firms make to the social fabric of the borough including raising more than £56,000 for local charities.
David Wadsworth, Chair of the awards, says: “The Oldham Business Awards showcase the most inspiring organisations and business individuals in the borough. Over the years, hundreds of outstanding businesses and the people who make them what they are, have been nominated and shortlisted, with many going on to win a much sought-after award and all the accolades and recognition that go with it. Huge congratulations to all our finalists, and we wish them good luck for the big night itself when we really will be choosing the best of the best.”
Tony Morris, MD of M & C Risk Solutions, says: “It really is an honour to be nominated once again. But it’s also a testament to the team here, the values and standards we work to and to just how highly our clients regard us. It’s very humbling, but also, I’m delighted that the team here are receiving such recognition.”
Sarah Morris, Operations Director at M & C Risk Solutions, says: “To be shortlisted for the second year in a row really is a fantastic achievement. The whole team are thrilled that the judges have seen what we value and what our clients love about us. That we always put their best interests first and pull out all the stops to ensure they get the best outcome possible.”
It’s fair to say that even being nominated can be regarded as a win, but another big win is that funds raised on the night will be donated to Mahdlo Youth Zone and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice. Both organisations provide vital support services to local communities and M & C Risk is a Patron and long-time supporter of Mahdlo.
This year’s host is yet to be announced but the event is renowned for attracting celebrities from the world of TV and broadcasting, such as last year’s host, Jon Culshaw, making his second appearance at the awards.
Awards night is always a highlight in the region’s social calendar, annually selling out to around 500 guests, who enjoy a drinks reception, a pre-show casino, awards ceremony, and a dance-fuelled after-party.
We’ll keep you posted on the 13th!
