It’s official—the 2025 Wigan Borough Business Awards are getting ready for the ultimate celebration of our incredible business community! This year, we’re delighted to reveal a lineup of award categories that will recognise the amazing talent, hard work, and innovation happening across the borough.
Why is this the ultimate celebration?
Let’s take a moment to reflect on last year. The 2024 Wigan Borough Business Awards set the bar high:
- 405 guests gathered at our awards evening to celebrate local success.
- We honoured 27 deserving winners for their outstanding achievements.
- With the backing of local business including 23 sponsors and 21 supporters, the event showcased the strength of our community.
- And thanks to our generous attendees, we raised an incredible £3,545 for Wigan & Leigh Hospice—giving back to a cause close to many of our hearts.
But we’re not stopping there – 2025 promises to be even bigger and better!
