Chester-based de Winter PR agency is celebrating after receiving regional recognition after being shortlisted for two prestigious honours at this year’s Cheshire Business Awards.

As the only PR agency to make the shortlist, De Winter is one of three firms across Cheshire up for the ‘Scottish Power Small Business of the Year’ as well as Managing Director Kate Cox shortlisted for the ‘Bentley Motors Young Business Person of the Year’ which will be announced on Friday 16 September at Chester Racecourse.

The Cheshire Business Awards are in their 8th year of presenting teams and individuals with awards that celebrate their hard work. The awards bring together local businesses to network, to support, encourage and applaud each other.

The annual awards have now earned the reputation as the most important recognition of business achievement in Cheshire and are sponsored by key businesses and both Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East Councils.

De Winter PR has been recognised through this shortlist for its successes over the past twelve months including key trade accreditation and significant growth for the firm with new national and regional client wins and company growth with last year’s acquisition of design agency kmcreative.

De Winter PR Managing Director Kate Cox said: “We are delighted to have received two nominations for awards that come with such recognition. As a Chester-based PR agency delivering national and regional campaigns we’re especially proud that we are able to contribute to the high-quality PR offering outside of London and help promote the North West as a centre of excellence for creative services.

“The team is thrilled to be acknowledged for our successes over the past twelve months, and our fingers are crossed to come away with both awards!”
