FIRMS in East Lancashire are being urged to bid for cash help to break into overseas markets.

The DTI has launched its annual Export Awards for Smaller Companies to coincide with a new initiative to help firms sell abroad.

The awards scheme offers prize money of more than £5,000. Companies with up to 250 employees can enter and past winners of the awards have included firms with only a few staff.
