pna

Today we’re delighted to reveal the shortlist for the Prolific North Awards 2018.

Almost 300 entries were received ahead of the awards dinner, which this year will be held on Thursday May 24th at The Principal in Manchester city centre, with comedian, actor, writer and presenter Justin Moorhouse returning to host.

We’re very pleased to again have the support of Click Consult as headline sponsor, this year alongside co-headline sponsor Bing.

Our thanks, too, to category sponsors 72Point, CDi Yorkshire, Dock10, Group IMD, Hiscox, Knight Corporate Finance and Lucas Fettes.

Once again we’re confident of attracting a crowd of approaching 800 for what is indisputably the sector’s biggest gathering and celebration of talent outside London.
