“As a company, we have experienced the positive impact apprentices can have on a business and this is why we are urging local companies to get in touch and share the stories of the amazing work their apprentices produce on a daily basis to aid business growth.”
JF Hornby Chartered Accountants, which is based in Daltongate Business Centre, is sponsoring the Community Group of the Year Award and is encouraging people to get their nominations in.

Managing Director Paul Hornby said: “We are a community business, and we try to reflect that in everything we do.
“Ulverston is at the heart of the JH Hornby family. It’s where we are based, where many of our clients are based, and where a number of our team members live.
“This is a fantastic town, and much of that is down to the people who live, work and volunteer here. To be able to help celebrate the fantastic achievements of Ulverston’s unsung heroes is an honour, and I can’t wait for the awards evening in May when we will shine a light on some very special people.
