The time has come where we can officially announce the shortlist for this year's Stoke-on-Trent BusinessLive Awards, in association with StokeonTrentLive and The Sentinel.

Marc Waddington, editor of The Sentinel and BusinessLive's sister site StokeonTrentLive, said: "The quality of the entries this year was superb, and a reminder of how many great businesses we have in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire.
