TOWN TEAM PREPARE FOR NEXT AWARDS

Ashton Town Team are throwing the spotlight on small businesses once again this summer.  Following the hugely successful Ashton Independent Business Awards over the past two years they are set to return once again sponsored by Bromleys Solicitors LLP.

Ashton town centre is the focus of the awards as businesses work hard to attract shoppers to the town once again. So, the footprint covered by the awards will be dedicated solely to that area. This will include Stamford Street, George Street, Old Street, Katherine Street, Oldham Road, Penny Meadow, Fletcher Street, Market Street, Booth Street, Henrietta Street, Bow Street, Warrington Street, Market Avenue, Wood Street, Delamere Street, Booth Street, Wellington Street, Cavendish Street, Bentinck Street and St Michael’s Square. Of course, this would include businesses in Ashton Market, Market Ground and those independent businesses in our Ashton shopping centres.

Paul Westwell, Partner at Bromleys said: “We are delighted to sponsor the awards once again this year. Independent retail has faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic and supporting small businesses is more important than ever.” Deputy Chair of Ashton Town Team, Councillor Bill Fairfoull added: “Really pleased to announce we are running the Ashton Independent Business Awards. We know it’s been a difficult few years but let’s get together and support our small businesses. So please get involved and vote for your favourite independent businesses in Ashton town centre”.
