We’re delighted to welcome McGinty Demack back to the Wigan Business Awards 2026, this time as sponsors of the Professional Services Business of the Year.
It’s a particularly fitting partnership.
At the 2025 Wigan Business Awards, McGinty Demack was named Professional Services Business of the Year. Now, one year later, the team is returning to support the category that celebrated their own success.
David Richardson, Director, McGinty Demack said
“We took the decision not to come back to enter for a second year but to do something different by sponsoring the event. We know how hard it was to even get to the final and that hard work makes it more satisfying when you win.”
From Award Winner to Category Sponsor
Winning a Wigan Business Award is a chance for businesses to reflect on what they have achieved, celebrate their team and put their work in front of the wider Wigan business community.
For McGinty Demack, their 2025 win recognised the strength of the business and the professional service they provide.
This year, they are helping us turn the spotlight onto the next group of businesses competing for that title.
Their support means the Professional Services Business of the Year 2026 finalists will be backed by a business that knows exactly what it feels like to be in their position.
Supporting Wigan’s Professional Services Businesses
The Professional Services Business of the Year category recognises businesses delivering expertise, quality service and strong results for their clients and customers.
Playing an important role across Wigan and Leigh, supporting other organisations to grow, solve problems and operate successfully.
Having a previous category winner return to sponsor the Award adds something special to that relationship.
Nichola Howard, Co-Founder of the Wigan Business Awards, said:
“There’s something really lovely about seeing a business come back to sponsor the category they won the year before. McGinty Demack know what that recognition meant to them in 2025, and now they’re helping us celebrate the next businesses coming through.
That’s exactly the kind of relationship we want the Wigan Business Awards to build.”
McGinty Demack on Returning to the Awards
For McGinty Demack, winning the category brought recognition from both the wider business community and their own clients.
Dave continued:
“What it meant to us was seeing clients sending messages of congratulations and, of course, the additional profile that came with winning. That recognition ultimately helped bring more business through the door.”
Co-Director Karen Richardson added:
“Winning Professional Services Business of the Year in 2025 was a really proud moment for the McGinty Demack team. This year, we wanted to come back and support the next group of finalists and help recognise the brilliant professional services businesses working across the borough.”
