Rochdale has three finalists in the 2015 E3 Business Awards - Julie Bowmer of Likahea Holdings Ltd and D Pamela Coates of Waterside Dental Care have both been nominated for Outstanding Woman in Business, with Waterside Dental Care earning a nomination for Employer of the Year.

Ms Bowmer said: “I am honoured to be a finalist for such a prestigious award. It had taken many years and a tremendous amount of hard work and determination from not just me but all of my hardworking team to build such a diverse portfolio of successful businesses. I put it largely down to the true grit and industrious spirit of the North West, of which I am immensely proud of.”

The E3 Awards is in its third year since it launched in 2013, and it celebrates diversity in the North West community. The nominees are a mixture of companies, social enterprises and high-achieving individuals.

There are 70 finalists in total throughout the North West over 16 categories at the awards, which will be hosted by 1 Events Media. The results will be announced at the E3 Business Awards Dinner on 11 June at Macron Stadium in Bolton.
