Every successful business has a story, and behind that story is someone who believed in them—someone who saw their dedication, hard work, and impact on the community. That’s exactly what the Wigan Business Awards are all about—celebrating outstanding local businesses and giving them the recognition they deserve.
And yet, so many fantastic businesses never put themselves forward for awards. They’re busy doing what they do best—serving their customers, supporting the local economy, and making a difference in the Wigan community. They might not even realise the impact they’re having.
That’s where you come in.
Why Nominations Matter
A nomination isn’t just a name on a form—it’s a powerful message that says, “Your hard work is seen. What you do matters.”
For many businesses, receiving a nomination is the push they need to take a step back and acknowledge their achievements. And for past nominees and winners, that recognition has been game-changing:
⭐ “Receiving a nomination for a Wigan Business Award was an honour and meant so much that I was nominated. Working in the Social Economy sector, we support people and other organisations with the aim of making a difference to peoples lives, and so to receive this made me feel so happy that maybe we are making a difference to our local community and the wider Borough” – Dave Baxter, Founder Wigan and Leigh Community Charity, Lifetime Achievement Award finalist.
⭐ “Being nominated for the Creative & Digital Wigan Business Award was a huge honour. The recognition meant so much to me as it reflected the hard work, passion and dedication I’ve put in to my small business. To be considered among other amazing, local, creative businesses was a real achievement and gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward.” – Amy’s Little Studio – Creative & Digital Business of the Year Award winner 2024.
⭐ “It was an absolute joy to receive a nomination in the Wigan Business Awards. For customers to take the time to nominate us, showing how pleased they are with the service we provide, meant the world to us. Especially as a new business, it really gave us the encouragement and recognition we needed to keep working hard and growing our business further. ” – The Lowton Creative Company, Best New Business Award winner.
It’s easy to assume that businesses know how valued they are, but sometimes, they need someone else to tell them. A simple nomination can spark pride, confidence, and even new opportunities.
Who Can You Nominate?
Think about the businesses that have made an impact on you. Maybe it’s:
- The independent shop that’s always there when you need them.
- The tradesperson who goes the extra mile every time.
- The café that greets you like family.
- The company that’s changing the game in their industry.
- The team that makes a difference in the community.
If a business, team, or individual stands out to you, nominate them for a local award. It takes just a couple of minutes, but the effect can last a lifetime.
