The 2008 North Antrim Business Awards is an initiative by Moyle Enterprise Company and will be held on Friday 17th October, once again in Lissanoure Castle in Loughguile.

The Awards are open for all businesses in Ballymoney and Moyle Council areas, and there are 18 different Award Categories from Best New Business to Best Family Business, through to Best Business Premises to Female Entrepreneur of the Year.

Peter McCaughan is a Director of Impact Printing. He stated, "We are very keen to support the Business Awards because it helps recognise and showcase the entrepreneurial talent which we have in North Antrim.

"We are also delighted to get the chance to show our support for the local business community, and encouraging the Business Awards allows us to do that."
"We were one of the first sponsors agreed last year and we felt that as this year's Business Awards were going to be bigger and better it was an opportunity which couldn't be missed!"

Marc McGerty is Chief Executive with Moyle Enterprise Company. He added, "This is the second year Impact Printing have supported the Business Awards, and we are very grateful to them for their contribution not only as a sponsor, but also with their professional help with the design and print of the awards brochures and marketing literature.

"At last years Gala Event we had 300 guests and sponsors, and we expect a similar number this year. As well as the Awards Ceremony we also have a fun casino to encourage people to mingle, followed by live entertainment.

"We are hoping to build on the success of last years Business Awards, and so far we have 10 sponsors with a number still to confirm. We are really keen for more local businesses to come on board so if you are interested give me a call."
