THIS award seeks to recognise and reward those local businesses employing more than 250 people that have, over the last 12 months, demon- strated a strong financial per- formance and all-round excellence in innovation, leadership and a clear involvement in the Merseyside community.
KPMG in Liverpool is delighted to sponsor the prestigious Business of the Year accolade for the fifth year running. Ian Goalen, senior partner at KPMG’s Liverpool office, said: “Since becoming head of KPMG’s Liverpool office last October, it has fast become evident that the management of Mer- seyside’s busi- nesses are truly a resilient bunch. The impact of the credit crunch has meant that things are undoubtedly tougher than they were 12 months ago.
“Yet I hear tales of growth and innovation, and of a sheer determination to succeed.”
