On Friday 4th April, we brought together our 2024 Wigan Business Awards winners and sponsors for one final celebration—this time with a bit of a twist!
Held at Leigh East ARLFC, the Winner of Winners event was a relaxed afternoon of informal networking, a buffet lunch, and a good old-fashioned pub quiz—because what better way to wrap up the awards season than with a bit of friendly rivalry?
“I wanted a relaxed, fun experience with a little competitive edge—so a pub quiz felt like the perfect way to bring everyone together one last time,” said Jo Leigh, Creative Director of Launch NW and organiser of the Wigan Business Awards.
After a brilliant afternoon and some hotly contested quiz rounds, we crowned our official Winner of Winners 2024…
…Congratulations to Nicola Morris from The Lowton Creative Company Ltd, winner of our 2024 Best New Business Award. She’s now officially the reigning quiz champ!
