Does Your Business Need A Boost?

We are proud to sponsor this year’s Business Boost competition run through CN Group in association with fellow sponsors Bendles Solicitors.

The initiative encourages and supports the growth of local businesses. Winners are selected on their growth potential and receive a package of business support to help them reach their full potential.

Six winners will each receive £10,000 of advertising with the CN Group and we are offering a special package with prizes available to all entrants, finalists and winners.

Each competition entrant will receive copies of our book ‘57 Ways to Grow Your Business‘, our help sheet ‘What Makes a Successful Business’ and our research booklet ‘Competitiveness – How the Best UK Companies are Winning’.

All finalists can request a free half day consultation with Lamont Pridmore to review their overall business, corporate and personal vision, productivity, profitability, competitor analysis and more.

Six winners can request a Free Business Consultation Programme over an extended period which usually results in more than £25,000 net profit improvement.

There are two categories for applicants:

  • New businesses – up to five years old
  • Established Cumbrian businesses of any age with fewer than 250 employees

Enter online here or via your local CN Group publications.

The closing date for entries is Friday 25th March 2016.
