A new photography competition has been launched by the mayor of Ellesmere Port, Cllr Karen Shore.
The competition celebrates business in Ellesmere Port, a town that is now building a reputation as a place for businesses to thrive.
It was launched at Thyson Technology, a specialist engineering business providing gas analysis solutions for process industries worldwide.
Cllr Shore said: “It was a pleasure to launch the photography competition at Thyson Technology, particularly as the theme this year is promoting business in Ellesmere Port.”
She added: “I would like to encourage photographers across the town to consider entering the competition.
“Whether you are a beginner or a budding David Bailey, we want to see your photos depicting all aspects of business life in the town.”
Mike Braddock, managing director of Thyson Technology, said: “We are delighted to help Cheshire West and Chester Council launch this year’s ‘Celebrating Business in Ellesmere Port’ competition.
“Whilst the town is well known for its industrial heritage and motor manufacturing, the recent urbanisation of Cheshire Oaks and its surrounding areas has seen businesses of all sectors and sizes thrive.
“More companies than ever are operating out of Ellesmere Port and this is excellent for the local economy.”
Local award-winning professional photographer Adrian Waine took the photograph of the mayor of Ellesmere Port visiting Thyson Technology.
The photographic competition is open until 10th September 2018.
