BUSINESSES in the Bolton area can broadcast their achievements and improve their company at the same time by entering the North of England Excellence Awards.

The awards are open to organisations, businesses and individuals, with a track record for excellence and who are looking to achieve further improvements in the run-up to the economic recovery.

The awards offer opportunities to improve performance and get feedback from independent assessors.

Last year, the Valley Community Primary School in Bolton was one of the winners. Entries for the 2010 awards are now open to private, public, educational and voluntary organisations of all sizes throughout the North.
