We’re excited to welcome The Heaton Group as the official sponsor of the CIC/Social Enterprise of the Year category at Wigan Borough Business Awards 2025!
A family-run business with deep local roots, The Heaton Group has a long-standing commitment to Wigan and the wider Northwest not just through property development and regeneration, but through meaningful partnerships that help communities thrive.
From Networking Partner to Award Sponsor
Earlier this year, The Heaton Group came on board as sponsor of our Exclusive Sponsors and Partners Networking Event, which was a fantastic afternoon hosted at their Feast at The Mills venue, located in the heart of Wigan. This brought all of our sponsors and partners together to make new connections and find opportunities to support each other and collaborate.
We were thrilled to work with a company so committed to building lasting relationships and supporting local enterprise. Now, they’ve stepped up once again to help us spotlight a very special group of businesses – those putting people, planet, and purpose at the heart of what they do.
Our CIC/Social Enterprise of the Year award recognises the organisations using business as a force for good. These are the changemakers who are improving lives, strengthening communities, and finding sustainable ways to make a positive impact right here in the borough.
The Heaton Group’s decision to support this category reflects their own values championing innovation, social responsibility, and long-term community investment. It’s a natural fit and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.
“It’s a real privilege and honour to support the Wigan Borough Business Awards and specifically this category. We have so many great CIC’s and local enterprise schemes within the Borough and supporting this aligns truly to our beliefs of encouraging great community work” Lee Dalgleish, Commercial Director, The Heaton Group
We’re looking forward to seeing which inspiring organisation takes home this award on Saturday 27th September 2025, and to celebrating alongside The Heaton Group.
