We are delighted to announce the shortlist for the 2022 Stockport Business Awards. Many Stockport businesses entered the 13 categories this year, and the judging took place on Tuesday 5th July. The judging panel consisted of headline sponsor representatives from Clarke Nicklin, Gorvins Solicitors and Music Magpie. Representatives from Stockport Borough Council, the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Dawn Creative were also on the panel. After many hours of discussion and debate the shortlist was agreed.
