The Village Hotel Bury served as the perfect backdrop for this special occasion. Guests arrived in high spirits, ready to honour and applaud the outstanding achievements within the local community.

The Local and Loved Awards Night began with a sumptuous three-course meal, expertly prepared and served by the talented team at The Village Hotel Bury.

The much-anticipated awards ceremony commenced, showcasing the exceptional talent and dedication found in various industries. Each award category represented a specific sector, and the winners were met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from their peers. It was a true testament to the support and camaraderie within the business community.
The evening held a bittersweet moment as the prestigious award for The North West's Most Loved Networker was accepted by The Mayor of Bolton on behalf of the late Phil Thompson, the beloved managing director of Key Control Services. Phil's passing earlier this year left a profound void in our business community and in the hearts of those who knew him personally. His remarkable contributions and his genuine connections with people made him a cherished figure. As we honoured his memory and celebrated his remarkable achievements, we recognised the lasting impact he had on the local business landscape. May his legacy continue to inspire and guide us.
