Business finance comparison site, FundOnion, has today opened submissions for its inaugural Rugby League Business Awards.
The awards celebrate small businesses supporting, working in or supplying the Rugby League community and are open to those who associate with any rugby league club, in men’s, women’s or wheelchair games.
Entries are free and can be completed at the following site. The entries are open now and close on June 1.
Categories include Best Company, Community Engagement, Innovation and Fast Growth, each of which will focus on a different aspect of the work and challenges that businesses face every day and the ingenuity they display in overcoming them.
The winners of each category will win a pair of VIP tickets to the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 12, joining other winners and the FundOnion team for a special day celebrating their achievements and association with the sport.
Winning businesses will also receive a complementary growth consultation from FundOnion’s partners.
FundOnion CEO and co-founder James Robson, said: “It is easy to picture the UK business community as the small collection of FTSE 100 companies that are reported on the news and in papers, but in reality, it is the millions of SMEs up and down the country that really drive the UK economy. Our work so far has taught us that innovation and ambition is alive and well in the UK, if it has the right support, this is what we want to highlight with this award programme.
“Rugby League is a sport that rewards hard work and perseverance but also innovation and skill, and in the last few months we have seen the impact it, and the businesses associated with it, has on local communities and economies. We can’t wait to celebrate the great individuals and businesses that make up this community at Old Trafford in October, and hope it will shine a light on a fantastic area of British business and ingenuity.”
