Pride In Sefton Awards launches Business In the Community category backed by In Demand Radio

Do you know a local business which has made a real difference in the local community? 

Firms across Sefton have an enviable record of being a force for good for local people – now we’d like you to help us to celebrate them. 

This year’s Pride Of Sefton Awards includes a Business In The Community Award, which is sponsored by In Demand Radio, which is also acting as media sponsor for the event.

Please make your nominations at: prideofseftonawards.co.uk or email your nominations to: andrewbrownmedia@gmail.com

In Demand Radio launched on DAB+ in November 2020 for Liverpool, Wirral and the North West. 

Award-winning DJ Lee Butler takes prime position presenting the Brekky Butler weekday breakfast programme and weekend dance show Plastic Surgery. 

He is joined by some of the best local talent, such as Steve Cocky, Rick Houghton, Sie Austin, Ian Longo, Billie Clements and Gemma Cutting, plus many international DJs including Tiesto, Armin Van Burren, Roger Sanchez and Judge Jules who all have weekly shows on the station.

Also among the line-up is Southport’s very own Claire Simmo, who will host this year’s Pride Of Sefton Awards. 

Re-tune your DAB+ radio NOW to listen, alternatively you can download the free In Demand Radio app or head to indemandradio.com for the very best experience and on demand listening.

Steve Cocky said: “The In Demand Radio team are thrilled to be a part of this year’s Pride of Sefton Awards, as a local radio station it’s key for us to be part of such fantastic events like this in our communities.

“It’ll be amazing to see so many well deserving winners, win such brilliant awards on the night, we can’t wait for a wonderful evening at the Grand Southport.”
