The Bolton News Business Awards are back for 2024 and we're looking for category sponsors.

The event, which is headline sponsored by Bolton Council, is set to take place on Friday, September 20 in the Premier Suite at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

The Bolton News Business Awards toast success, celebrate achievement and highlight successful and innovative companies doing fantastic things in the Bolton area. 

The awards have grown to become one of the premier events in the North West.

Further to listening to people who attended last year’s event, we feel it is time to change the day of the awards to a Friday - so there's no excuse not to let your hair down! 

If you'd like to enter this year, please copy and paste this address into your browser (https://forms.office.com/e/MXwq9P0Qa8) or click here. 

We have two new awards for 2024:

We have also introduced a pre-awards judging event for all category sponsors to come together and judge the winners whilst offering an invaluable networking opportunity.
