The winners of the Build Back Bolton Business Awards 2022 have been announced tonight, Thursday, during a special occasion which showcased the success of companies in the borough.

In a celebration of the great work that firms are doing across the town, representatives from businesses took to the stage at the University of Bolton Stadium to collect their well deserved awards.

The night was full of cheer and jubilation from all of our winners and everyone present.

The ceremony was presented by Granada Reports presenter, Paul Crone and revellers stayed late into the night to dance and have fun.

We will be publishing a detailed supplement in The Bolton News next Thursday (September 29) about the event, but here are the names of each of the businesses which were shortlisted for each category, the winners and those that were highly commended highlighted:
