THE judging is over!
The shortlisted entries for this year's Bolton and Bury Business Awards have been chosen.
And now the waiting begins until the awards ceremony at the Macron Stadium on Thursday, September 10.
There are three shortlisted in each category, apart from the Young Person/Apprentice of the Year which had such a good response the judges have increased the numbers to four.
It is promising to be a fantastic night as the awards are in their 10th year and all of the businesses below are in with a chance to be crowned the best.
There is still time to be a part of the awards by booking a ticket and as well as enjoying a great night out, there will be a chance to meet to up with old friends and also make new contacts. The evening will start with a Champagne reception followed by a three course dinner.
Then it is on to the awards ceremony, hosted by Norman Prince.
