TIME is running out for Bury companies to showcase their export achievements.

For September is the deadline for the Exporter of the Year Awards.

Bury businesses are being urged to look closely at their individual export accomplishments and at how winning the award would enhance their future export drive.

Grant Collier of the Export Times said: "With the continued strength of the sterling, it has again been a difficult year for exporters and it is hoped the 2000 Exporter of the Year Awards will also provide a shot in the arm for this year's winners."

The awards are split into eight separate categories and the presentations will be staged at The Dorchester Hotel, London on November 27.
