Sci-fi attraction for Queens Awards

Dr Who and the Daleks will be a major added attraction at this year’s Queen’s Awards awareness event at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.

The event - on Tuesday 19 June - coincides with the museum’s Dr Who exhibition and provides a chance for those interested in receiving a Queen’s Award for Enterprise to find out more about how to do so.

Past winners will speak of the value of an Award in promoting their businesses, while officials from the Queen’s Awards office will outline the application procedure for the 2008 awards, which can be won by both businesses and individuals. Applications close on 31 October 2007.

There is a free buffet reception for attendees and all delegates at the late afternoon event will also have the chance for a special visit to the Dr Who exhibition.

Applications should be made to Julia Powell at the UK Trade and Investment International Trade Team at Churchgate House, 56 Oxford Street, Manchester M60 7HJ or by e-mail to info@uktinorthwest.co.uk.

More details of the Queen’s Awards can be obtained from the Queen’s Awards website on www.queensawards.org.uk.
