A Preston photography business is celebrating being shortlisted for a North West business awards.
AdvertisementVB Creative Photography specialise in wedding and commercial photography.
The Fulwood-based firm have been shortlisted in the creative, digital and media category of the E3 Business Awards.
The awards take place at the Reebok Stadium in September and a number of other Preston businesses are also on the shortlist.
Company owner Vaishakhi Chhotai-Doshi said:”I am extremely proud of my company and to be recognised in this capacity is very rewarding.”
“To have achieved this shortlisting, we have had to compete with nominees from across the whole region, from Cumbria to Cheshire, so we’re extremely proud to have been named as a finalist. It’s great to win recognition for all the hard work that has put in and now, we’re really looking forward to the awards evening itself.”
1 Events Media’s Mubarak Chati, who organise the awards, said: “Last year marked the launch of the E3 Awards and we were very impressed then by the number and calibre of the nominees, but this year, we’ve seen even more. Perhaps it’s testament to a recovering economy or just to the relentless ‘can do’ spirit that
characterises the North West, but whatever the reason, the quality of entrants has been superb.
“We’ve had hundreds of nominations, and they’ve come from right across the region: Manchester to Merseyside, Cumbria to Cheshire. It’s astonishing to witness the effort and ingenuity of so many individuals and organisations because so much commendable work has clearly been done. In compiling the shortlist, the Nominations Panel certainly had an unenviable task and for VB Creative Photography have secured a place in the final is an achievement of which it should be very proud.”

Magma Digital for the skills, education and training award
