First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO) has been shortlisted in three categories at the town’s annual business awards later this year.

The housing association is in the running to win Business of the Year in the £5m+ category, Supporting Young People and the Workforce Health & Wellbeing Award. 

The prestigious Oldham Business Awards are now in their 18th year, and the finalists in the 13 categories were announced last Thursday. 

Those involved will find out if they are winners at a celebratory event in the town on October 2.

“FCHO is a strong supporter of our local businesses as a major organisation and employer in the Oldham area, so we’re delighted to be finalists in three important categories,” said chief executive Mark Gifford. 

“These awards are a major event in the town too and much respected and appreciated by everyone. 

“I wish all the finalists the absolute best, but I will be very much hoping FCHO can achieve a hat trick of victories on the night.”
