BLUES RECOGNISED AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AWARDS

Blues General Manager Georgina Slawinski was recognised at the West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce Awards on Friday, on a night when over £6,000 was raised for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd!

Georgina won the Young Person of the Year Award, which highlights the exceptional contribution of a young person or an apprentice, aged 25 or under, to the success and growth of a business based in West Cheshire and North Wales.

Chester Racecourse welcomed 350 guests to the Chambers’ circus-themed Annual Ball and Recognition Awards.

The event, headline sponsored by Equals Money, provided an opportunity for Chamber of Commerce members to unite and reflect on their achievements over the past year.

This year attracted a record number of entries in the ten categories, with finalists having been determined before the event.

After the awards ceremony concluded, a raffle and auction were held to generate funds for The Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

The charity provides specialist care to people living within Deeside, Ellesmere Port and West Cheshire, who are living with an end-of-life diagnosis for both cancer and non-cancer illness.

Over £6,600 was raised for this amazing cause who, as many Chester FC supporters know, are one of our Charity Partners.

Debbie Bryce, the Chief Executive Officer of the West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce said:

“Tonight’s awards allowed us to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our members.

“With a record number of entries this year, our judges faced the demanding task of selecting finalists and winners. I extend my gratitude to all our members who took the time to submit entries; the quality of the nominations was truly exceptional.

“Congratulations to our winners, and heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors, whose support makes events like this possible.”

Debbie continued:

“Thank you to all those who donated prizes for the raffle and auction and to the guest on the evening for showing such support for this brilliant charity. Your generosity will have an incredible impact on the lives of people in the local area.

“It has been another fantastic night with so many people coming together to celebrate what it means to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

“Thank you to everyone one for attending and making it such a memorable occasion.”

Congratulations on your award, Georgina!
