To recognise high quality investment projects by businesses in Warrington which have directly or indirectly created new jobs and prosperity within the town during the past three years.

The judges will be looking for:

• Businesses that have exceeded original plans and targets through investment with Warrington.
• The perceived risk and rewards of such an investment.
• The introduction of new businesses, or business sectors in the town.
• If appropriate, evidence of an environmentally responsible approach to the general management of the business.
• A successful completion of a management buy-out or buy-in, which has produced improved business results.
• Investment that demonstrates long-term commitment to Warrington.

Neither the total value of the investment nor the number of jobs created will by themselves be determining factors.
