BIRCHWOOD based digital agency Blue Whale Media has received multiple award nominations from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and North West Family Business Community.
The first award Nomination came from the FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards, within the category Digital / Ecommerce Business of the year for the North West. This was the first-ever nomination for Blue Whale Media, which came as a massive honour for every team member.
FSB North West hosted their Awards on the 11th of March at the elegant Midland Hotel in Manchester, a delightful venue, steeped in history and soaked in luxury. Twelve fantastic businesses of different shapes and sizes were crowned as the winners; sadly, the Blue Whale Team missed out on a trophy but were still named in the final three for the Digital / Ecommerce Business of the year category.
“It’s an honour to be nominated within such a competitive category; it just goes to show that our hard work is well received and worth being celebrated. This is our first award nomination which is something to be immensely proud of; the dedication we all put in deserves recognition, especially when we’re creating digital solutions for our clients, ” said Rachel Foy, who is a Content Writer at Blue Whale Media.
“We met so many wonderful people at the awards ceremony at the Midland Hotel in Manchester; six of our staff attended, including myself and what a wonderful occasion it was.”
In the last month, it was also announced that Blue Whale Media is a finalist for the People’s Choice Cheshire category of the North West Family Business Awards 2022.
Blue Whale Media beat the strong competition with a record number of 186 businesses entering The North West Family Business Awards. This is only their second award finalist nomination, which is fantastic recognition for the digital agency and portrays an exciting year for the whole team.
The North West Family Business Awards are organised and run by The Family Business Community, described as a fantastic opportunity for people to celebrate from across the North West.
The finalists will now receive a visit from a specially selected expert judging panel before the judges make their final decisions. The winners will be announced at the glittering ceremony on Friday 13th May at the The Rum Warehouse, Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, with host, food writer, and presenter Nigel Barden.
Co-Founder and Director, Sue Howorth said: “We were inundated with some incredible entries and we have been burning the midnight oil to get through them as they came in right up to the wire. The judges had extremely difficult decisions to make, so the finalists should be extremely proud of themselves!”
With a bright future ahead of them, the Blue Whale Media team are looking forward to more award nominations and the The North West Family Business Awards Ceremony.
