Liverpool Business Centre has been surprised at the immediate response to Tuesday's launch of the Enterprise Champions Awards 2002. The initiative is being sponsored by the centre, together with Alliance & Leicester Business Banking. It is the first time the ECHO has launched the awards, which are aimed at celebrating Merseyside's most successful entrepreneurs. A spokesman for LBC LBC Luton Borough Council LBC Liquid Based Cytology LBC Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation LBC Lancaster Bible College (Pennsylvania) LBC Long Beach California LBC Long Beach City LBC Albanian Airlines said: ``There has been a very encouraging start to these awards and I'm sure there will be many more nominations coming in because Liverpool is a very enterprising city.'' The awards are targeted at small and medium-sized businesses trading in the Merseyside area. Over the next month, we will be asking for nominations in four categories - bestsmall business; best contribution to the community; best new business; and best young business person. There will also be an overall category, Enterprise Champion 2002, to recognise the person or company to have made the most outstanding contribution to the region. Council leader Mike Storey said: ``Often with business awards, small businesses don't get a look-in. ``What I really like about the ECHO's awards is the effort to recognise enterprise and initiative among small and medium-sized businesses. ``The strength of our entrepreneurs and their `get up and go' is what makes or breaks us as a city.'' In early October, the entries will be whittled down to a shortlist by the judges.

He said: ``Too often the people behind our small businesses are too busy or a little reticent about shouting about their success. ``So if you know a customer, supplier, friend or even family member who deserves greater recognition, please submit an entry on their behalf.''
