We are thrilled to announce we were winners of Rochdale Business Awards boroughs best upcoming Business of 2016.

Andi Wilkinson was also a finalist in the Business Person of the Year category. Andi was pitched against finalists from much larger and well-established companies.

Why we are boroughs best upcoming business

As a digital marketing agency in Rochdale, we have offered a valid contribution to the town. Working in tandem with Hilary Pogson, we did quite a bit of work this year to help out not for profit organisations. Notably we created a website for the Rochdale Youth Voice, and we created a directory of services for Rochdale Homeless Action Information Network (BRHAIN)

The Award ceremony took place in the beautiful and gothic Rochdale Town Hall. It was a great evening with dinner, drinks, bubbly and entertainment.
