01 Aug Meet the 2024 NNBN finalists – congratulations everyone

We’re super proud at Pilkington Communications to be supporting and sponsoring this year’s NNBN Awards – headed up by the talented duo Simon and Marie Cox.

As part of our support for these awards, our job is to do a lot of the writing – including pulling together press releases to promote these awards – and of course the talented finalists – UK-wide. We’ve also supported a few of our own charity and not for profit clients with their own award submissions, all of whom are through to the final.

The event sponsors are once again Wilson Browne Solicitors, and our fellow headline sponsors are West Northamptonshire Council, Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, and Poppy Design Studio.

All the finalists have now been contacted and are listed on the NNBN Awards website. One of the many benefits to entering awards is all of the positive PR – so congratulations everyone, you are also named here … see you all at the Mercure Hotel Northampton on Friday, 4th October.
