pna151_0

Today we can reveal the shortlist for the Prolific North Awards 2016 – jump straight to the list here.

moorhouseAlmost 300 entries were received ahead of the awards dinner at The Point at Lancashire County Cricket Club on Thursday 28th April, which for the first time will be presented by comedian, actor, writer and radio presenter Justin Moorhouse, while DJ Clint Boon will be returning with another floor-filling set.

We’re delighted that Click Consult and dock10 have once again chosen to be headline partners of the event, which last year saw 750 people come together for the sector’s biggest gathering and celebration of talent outside London.

Pitch Consultants will also be looking after the Twitterwall on the night, with mini-golf entertainment provided by Met Marketing. The photobooth is provided by Better Placed.

For further information about the evening or to book tickets, please visit our dedicated awards site or contact Don’t Panic on 01706 828855.
