On Thursday, 6th June, Thebestofnorthwest hosted its highly anticipated second annual Local & Loved Awards at the stunning Cloisters Suite, nestled within the Holiday Inn Bolton. The event was a vibrant celebration of the exceptional local businesses across Bolton, Bury, and Blackburn, recognising their remarkable achievements and contributions to the community.

An Evening to Remember

Faz Patel and her team meticulously organised the event, bringing together local businesses for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration. The beautifully decorated Cloisters Suite set the perfect backdrop for a night filled with community spirit and recognition.

The event shone a spotlight on the talents and achievements of local businesses across 24 competitive categories. With each award carrying significant prestige, the competition was fierce, showcasing the extraordinary calibre of businesses in the region. Carlo Picasso Decorators Ltd emerged as a standout, winning three awards, alongside The Holiday Inn Bolton and Get Driving Today who both won two awards each.

A Night of Celebration

The night was hosted by Colin Manford, whose comedic flair kept the atmosphere light and full of laughter. Adding a sprinkle of magic to the night was the enchanting Stevie Mandini, whose close-up and on-stage magic performances captivated guests and added an extra layer of wonder to the celebrations.

Guests were treated to a delightful culinary experience courtesy of Cosalea, a member of Thebestofbury, and Spices & Spirits from Bolton. The unique menu broke away from the conventional awards night fare, leaving a lasting impression and ensuring that the dining experience was as memorable as the awards themselves.

Attendees, including John Galloway from Speed of Sight and Joanne Platt from Village Hotel, Bury, praised the event for its warmth, entertainment, and recognition of local talent.
