The highly respected Stockport Business Awards took place in October and received over a hundred applications from businesses in the Stockport Borough. Chartered accountants, Clarke Nicklin, who are the organisers, founders, and main sponsors of the event, held the first award ceremony back in 2012 at the Hallmark Hotel. The event was huge success and soon moved to larger premises, the iconic Stockport Town Hall.
The 2019 awards was a sell-out event with almost 400 guests in attendance from businesses within the Stockport community, all with an invested interest in supporting the Stockport business network. The awards not only welcome local business people, but in the past years have attracted local celebrities, such as actor Will Mellor, Chelsea Norris, and this year’s host Jenny Powell.
The quality of applications was outstanding, and the judging panel really had their work cut out, and whilst the winners were truly deserved and celebrated on the evening, lest we forget the highly commended businesses. See below a full run down of those highly commended:
Business of the Year (Over 5m)
