Wigan Borough Business Awards Hall of Recognition celebrates the businesses and individuals who are making a meaningful contribution to Wigan Borough’s business community.
This space has been created to acknowledge those whose impact is felt across the borough through leadership, commitment, collaboration, innovation, and support for others. Many of these contributions happen consistently and quietly, but they play a vital role in shaping a strong, connected, and thriving local economy.
Each profile featured here represents a business or individual who has been recognised by their peers for the positive difference they are making within Wigan and Leigh. Recognition reflects genuine contribution aligned to one of the official Wigan Borough Business Awards categories.
Inclusion in the Hall of Recognition is a standalone acknowledgement and does not automatically mean the business or individual has entered the awards. Instead, it is a way to say thank you, while offering an opportunity to take the next step should they wish.
We’re proud to showcase the people and organisations featured here and to celebrate the impact they continue to have across Wigan Borough!

Once we’ve taken the time to understand your requirements, we’ll design, develop and implement the right solution for you.
Our support contracts and solutions are designed to have longevity, flexibility and capacity to grow with you as your business develops. Our managed and hosted services free you from the costly installation and upgrade treadmill by continually providing the latest proven technologies – fully managed, redundant, secure, and affordable. We maintain such a good relationship with customers for whom we manage their IT service, that their responses to satisfaction surveys are not only overwhelmingly positive at 99.1% but we have double the average response rate too. Many go out of their way to comment on the speed at which we’ve been there to help.
