On 18 March Lancaster-based digital agency Nublue was named as a finalist in the Prolific North Awards 2016, in the Website category. The nomination recognises the company’s web design and development work for the national online jewellery retailer The Jewel Hut, a sister brand of T.H. Baker.
“Thanks to our ongoing development partnership with Nublue we are on the verge of something quite new and exciting for The Jewel Hut,” says Kam Reehal, Web Manager at The Jewel Hut. “We can rest assured that Nublue will lend their expertise to our ecommerce tools and tailored hosting to enable our business to continue to grow.”
Created by Prolific North, the Manchester-based publishing company, the awards celebrate the best in media and creative that the North has to offer – putting the spotlight on the region’s collective creative talent among its native companies, institutions and organisations, and the results they achieve for their clients.
This year’s awards saw just under 300 entries from a huge range of applicants, ranging from smaller regional companies to multinational agency networks. Among the finalists across all categories are Uber & Topman, Pizza Hut, Lime Pictures with Hollyoaks, ITV Studios with Coronation Street Live Uncovered, Big Issue North, Guardian News & Media and Channel 4 & Sofaworks’ sponsorship of GoggleBox – along with Nublue and the results they’ve achieved for thejewelhut.co.uk.
The winners will be announced during an awards dinner, which takes place at The Point at Lancashire County Cricket Club on Thursday 28 April. Comedian, writer and radio presenter Justin Moorhouse is set to present the evening, along with tunes from Radio X DJ Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets.
“We’re over the moon to be shortlisted for a Prolific North Award,’ says Mike Ashworth, Nublue’s MD. “Our team have worked hard to achieve some fantastic results for The Jewel Hut and T.H. Baker. It’s hugely rewarding for the team to receive this level of recognition for their passion and dedication.”
