Warren Bardsley said: “It’s been fantastic news to be selected for the o2 awards — especially as I’m told that the competition was really strong this year. This really does reinforce the fact that with passion, determination and hard work — even in the face of challenging economic forecasts — great things can happen. Being shortlisted is an accolade not only for me, but for the great team. Of course, it would also be great to bring this award ‘up North’.”

The finalists from each category and region will be invited to meet with a panel of expert judges before attending the national finals in London, in October 2009.
