Hundreds of nominations have been made for businesses in a North East city for the UK’s Favourite Local Business competition.
More than 400 nominations have been made for Sunderland businesses, putting the city among the front-runners. The winning business and one nominator will each receive a £1,000 Sunderland Gift Card.
Miconex, which runs the Town & City Gift Card scheme, organises the competition.
Roberta Redecke, head of business services at Sunderland BID, said: "It’s fantastic that businesses in Sunderland are doing so well in the nominations but there is still a long way to go before we can celebrate a win.
"We would really like people to keep voting and nominating so that one of our worthy businesses can take home the prize and the glory of winning."
More than 200 businesses accept the Sunderland Gift Card, including Angelo’s Restaurant, Crave, Ashbrooke Home, Harrison & Brown, The Sweet Petite, Natural Selection Therapies, Asiana, Chapter 13, Shinbob1, Pop Recs and Slice.
The competition is open until November 30, giving people more time to nominate a business.
To enter, visit www.lovelocalwin.co.uk, submit your details, nominate a business and explain why it deserves to win.
