About the Sponsors
Main Sponsor
Redrow Homes is pleased to support The Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards. More than just a housebuilder, we are committed to supporting the communities in which we build by providing new amenities and local improvements, creating employment and often making contributions to schools, sporting groups, community projects and charities in areas where we build.
As an industry leader and one of the housing sector's most innovative developers, Redrow applauds The Morgan Foundation for its efforts to encourage and reward entrepreneurial spirit.
Best known for its premium quality, family homes, Redrow builds everything from starter homes for first time buyers to large executive detached houses. Central to our product range is The New Heritage Collection, combining traditional looking 'Arts & Crafts' influenced exteriors with modern interiors.
Redrow has successfully blended sought-after features from the best loved period homes with the family friendly, open-plan layouts, statement making kitchens and bathrooms and high quality fixtures and fittings that today's consumers demand.
Redrow is equally at home building small, exclusive developments in prime locations as large-scale regeneration projects which incorporate business use, shops, community and leisure facilities, with housing. We've also turned our hand to refurbishment of Grade II listed historical buildings to create the perfect combination of original period features and a low maintenance, energy efficient, new-build specification.
Redrow's dedication to building quality homes has earned many awards, as has our pioneering approach to design, community involvement and marketing. We have been at the forefront of several industry innovations, including the launch of our own broadband television channel, Redrow.TV, winner of the Best Marketing Initiative at the 2010 Housebuilder Awards for innovation and excellence.

Liverpool Vision is the city’s economic development company. It was established at a critical stage in the city’s urban and economic renaissance. The company is protecting these achievements and continuing to support Liverpool’s economic recovery and growth. It has focused on building a strong, sustainable and inclusive economy and on promoting the city’s international opportunities and cultural and sporting offer to the world.
The success and encouragement the Morgan Foundation Entrepreneur Awards gives local entrepreneurs led Liverpool Vision to become an event sponsor in 2009 and to now offer an additional £5,000 to be awarded to the ‘Best Social Enterprise or Entrepreneurial Charity in Liverpool’.
Head of Enterprise at Liverpool Vision, Nicola Gleave, said “These awards are a great showcase for local talent and energy. The competition identifies real winners and the support and confidence winning brings are a real spur to success. We’re very impressed with the excitement the awards generate each year and the way they promote Liverpool as one of the best places for enterprise.”
Nicola continued, “We’re looking for dynamic and professional social businesses, entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial charities that are committed to growth and delivering social benefits to the people of Liverpool. We know there are real winners deserving recognition and access to the support that will ensure a successful future in the years ahead. We’re proud to have a continuing involvement in the Awards.”

NMC Design+Print
The word unique is a much over used and abused word these days, but in the case of NMC Design & Print never has a word been more apt.
True, NMC Design is a graphic design and print company like countless others producing a wide range of products - logos - brochures & folders - leaflets & flyers - business stationery - newsletters – promotional items and roller banners at competitive prices. We also have a variety of clients from one man bands to plcs, the public sector and charities.
What makes NMC Design unique is that it is a Social Enterprise operating as part of the NeuroMuscular Centre.
The NeuroMuscular Centre is a registered charity based in Winsford, Cheshire providing support and employment for people with Muscular Dystrophy, an aggressive, incurable muscle wasting condition.
All NMC’s designers (we currently employ nine) have MD and all the profits made by the company go towards the running costs of the Centre.
