IF you need more proof what a great night is to be had...the here it is!

The Bolton and Bury Business Award are now one of the most prestigious events on the business calendar in the region and attract more than 500 guests.

Last year was a huge success and certainly put a smile on young Dean Todd’s face when he picked up the Young Person/Apprentice of the Year award at just 17-years-old. At the other end of the spectrum, Cosatto got into the party mood after being awarded the Business of the Year.

The staff went wild at Arena Creative when they took to the stage after winning the coveted Start Up Business of the Year.

And guests enjoyed some top class entertainment from Sirens Encore, three ladies who wowed the audience with their glamour and sorprano voices.

The awards are an excuse to put on your best dress or dinner suit and enjoy a great night out, and hopefully go home with a top award.
