A NOTE FROM OUR CEO CHRIS SHIRLING-ROOKE

“Bringing the maritime industry together has always been at the heart of Mersey Maritime and is fundamental to what we do. But it is much more than that. We are committed to allowing our wide range of members both here in the Liverpool City Region and further afield, the opportunity to demonstrate to as broad an audience as possible their success and work in whatever area of the maritime industry they specialise in.

“It is also important to us to give the wider industry an opportunity to have their say on who amongst their peers is the best in class. Once again, we will offer a voting platform to facilitate this. The industry vote is all about creating even more opportunities to showcase the fantastic innovation, growth and positive impacts happening here in this region.

“We want everyone to feel involved in championing maritime in our region. There is already a profound sense of comradery at the awards evening, and we hope to shine a spotlight on this throughout the voting process.”

"I would like to thank you and your wider organisation for your ongoing support towards not only the Mersey Maritime Industry Awards but the wider industry too. The countdown is on to our biggest awards yet which will take place on Thursday 10 November 2022, in the prestigious location of Liverpool’s iconic Cathedral. Get you award entries in and we look forward to seeing you there!"
