Mike Lawrenson announced as Wigan Business Awards judge
We are delighted to announce that our MD – Mike Lawrenson has been confirmed as an independent judge at the upcoming Wigan Business Awards, joining a distinguished panel of 30 over judges comprising the North West’s brightest business minds.
Shortlisting has taken place by an independent panel throughout the Summer, with finalists being announced in August ahead of the awards on Friday November 8 at The Edge, Wigan.
The Wigan Business Awards return after a four-year hiatus, organised by Atherton-based events business owners of Launch Events North West, Nichola Howard and Jo Leigh.
The pair launched the event with the blessing of Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce: the original organisers who announced their Wigan Business Awards would not be returning after the pandemic, and would instead be absorbed by the Greater Manchester Chamber Excellence Awards.
Mike said: “It is an absolute honour to be judging these awards. As a business owner, I have witnessed for myself the power of surrounding yourself with a network of decent business people who want to lift each other up.
“It will be a tough process to whittle down the shortlist, but I’m looking forward to celebrating the achievements of the incredible businesspeople.”
Nichola Howard, awards organiser, said: “We are committed to ensuring the awards are independently and objectively judged by people who have ‘been there and done it themselves’ – so to have Mike join our esteemed panel is fantastic.
“As organisers, we won’t be involved in deciding who the winners are – we can’t wait to see who the judges announce and to celebrate with the finalists on the night!”
