We’re pleased to announce that one of our partners, NCC Resources, has been selected from hundreds of nominees across the North West to become a finalist in the 2015 E3 Business Awards.
The Merseyside-based developer, publisher and supplier of learning resources to the adult education sector has been shortlisted for the prestigious Online Business of the Year award. This follows the company’s achievement at the 2013 E3 Business Awards, where it scooped the Business Education Collaboration award.
After a rigorous selection process, NCC was invited to attend an interview, where a panel of five judges – all industry specialists – quizzed NCC’S MD, Tony Smith, on the company and its application.
Tony Smith and Catherine Appleton, Officer Manager, received the 2015 Finalist Certificate for the category on behalf of NCC.
Smith said: “We’re delighted that we are finalists in the Online Business of the Year category. It has been a great year for us – since the successful launch of our brand new website we have experienced excellent growth in sales and are receiving positive feedback. Being nominated demonstrates that the hard work was worth it.”
Mubarak Chati, MD of 1 Events Media which hosts the E3 Awards, commented: “Any finalist this year has already achieved something special. Each year, we notice a marked increase in the number of nominations and, in 2015, we've seen a huge leap. Numbers were up more than 30% on 2014, and it’s clear that the standard is rising steadily too.
“Given the high number and the high calibre of entries, we certainly presented the Nominations Panel with a very difficult challenge. For NCC to have been named as a finalist is an achievement of which it should be very proud.”
The awards will take place on 11 June at the Macron Stadium in Bolton – best of luck to NCC Resources from all of us at NCFE!
