What inspired your Business to sponsor The Bolton News Business Awards this year?

Whether it's treating patients or supporting charities and organisations in the community to help others, we feel the commitment we make is the same. As a proud member of the Bolton business and healthcare community, we wanted to support and celebrate organisations like us who are passionate about the people and communities they serve. 

How does sponsoring these awards align with your company's values and objectives?

Beaumont Hospital, part of Circle Health Groups values, are what underpins everything we do. To us sponsoring The Bolton News Business Awards is a way to honour our values and celebrate the incredible people and the businesses that make Bolton such an incredible community to be part of. 

What specific outcomes or benefits are you hoping to achieve through your sponsorship?

Beaumont Hospital, part of Circle Health Group, is extremely proud of our link to Bolton. We wish to foster a spirit of collaboration and innovation, enhance our connections within the community, and showcases our commitment to supporting the success and growth of local enterprises. By sponsoring these awards, we hope to encourage excellence and contribute to a thriving local economy.

Why do you believe it is important to support these awards and continue highlighting Bolton and what its businesses have to offer?

Bolton is an amazing place to live and work, with a strong community spirit and a thriving local economy. For over 40 years, we have been dedicated to treating and supporting our patients while also fostering valuable partnerships with the local healthcare community. We are also proud to have supported many apprentices as they begin their careers in healthcare, helping them develop their skills and grow. By supporting these awards, we ensure that the outstanding work of businesses and organisations in our community is recognised and celebrated, shining a light on all the incredible businesses in Bolton.

What led your company to choose to sponsor the well-being particular category?

As a hospital, we know firsthand how important well-being is to a person's quality of life. The category looks for a business that is innovative, collaborative, creative and believes in its people. These are values that we share and through our own 'Well-being Wednesdays' and wider Circle Health Group initiatives, we have been championing well-being at every level of the organisation. This is an award that we feel closely aligns with who we are as a community-focused hospital that believes in our people and puts our patients first.

What are the upcoming plans or future goals for your business?

We will continue to provide the high quality, safe and compassionate care our patients expect and need - whether that is for patients who choose to self-pay, are insured or treated under the NHS.  We are proud to continue working in partnership with our local NHS trust and primary care organisations to support and deliver health equality across Bolton and surrounding areas to ensure more patients receive the care they need. Beaumont Hospital is currently embarking on a programme of refurbishment at our hospital site, which is only a small part of the investment into the hospital as we continue in our aims to improve our services and put our patients first.

Could you share any recent projects or successes that your company is proud of?

At Beaumont Hospital, we are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone in patient satisfaction. We've recently achieved a remarkable score of over 900 on Reputation.com, far surpassing the 'best-in-class' benchmark of 800. This outstanding result reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care and service to our patients in Bolton. It's a fantastic recognition from our community, and we're incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of our staff who make this possible every day.
