North West Business Masters 2017: The winners revealed

They came in their best bib and tucker to raise a glass of bubbly and salute the outstanding companies across the region for the North West Business Masters 2017.

Business glitterati turned out in their hundreds for the event at Manchester’s iconic Midland Hotel where representatives of shortlisted companies and their leaders turned out to watch the awards ceremony unfolded.

Hosted by TheBusinessDesk.com’s North West editor Joanne Birtwistle and Nina Warhust, the BBC’s North West political editor, the event was backed by a plethora of major sponsors embedded in the heart of the business community.

Birtwistle said: “The Business Masters provide a fantastic platform to showcase the best that North West businesses have to offer.

“Tonight’s event has been a fantastic evening and I’d like to thank all shortlisted companies for the amazing work they do, as well as our sponsors, without whom tonight would not have been possible.”
