Meticulously planned, perfectly structured and a thoroughly entertaining and heartwarming night. Rarely does an award ceremony demonstrate the championing and inclusivity of every single person/business in the room, but the overwhelming warmth for everyone, whether they were a nominee, winner or a supporter of a business, is all down to the heart and soul given to the organisation of the event by its organisers. Fantastic showcasing of local performers too! Wigan businesses were beautifully showcased by this event and a great night was had by all!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Rachael Flaszczak28/11/2024A fantastic event organised and run by Nichola and Jo of Launch North West. They have shown a great passion for highlighting various businesses and individuals across the borough. From nominations, impartial judging panels and presentations, through to the grand awards ceremony, everything has been handled brilliantly. The awards ceremony was a grand spectacular with drinks on arrival, official photo opportunities, various entertainment, and a lovely catered meal. It was glorious to be finalists in two categories, even more so to be winner of the Micro Business of the Year Award. We really felt like we were winners at the fancy awards ceremonies for the stars! We are eagerly looking forward to the 2025 awards and no matter those results we know that the evening will be fantastic enough to feel like winners!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Thesnug Atherton28/11/2024The best awards ceremony I have ever been to and the only proper one in Wigan!
