The Bolton News Business Awards are back for 2024 and we’re shining a spotlight on this year's sponsors. The event, which this year has Bolton Council and Leisure Guard Security as headline sponsors, will take place on Friday, September 20 in the Premier Suite at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. The awards celebrate achievement and highlight successful and innovative companies doing fantastic things in the Bolton area.
Today, we're looking at Leisure Guard Security. What inspired your Business to sponsor The Bolton News Business Awards this year? I won the award way back in 2008. It gave me a huge boost locally both getting my name and the business recognised locally.
Winning this gave me an incentive and huge drive to push forward with the business and start spreading my wings using the newfound recognition to expand outwards from Bolton as that central point. Along with this, we are a local, Bolton-based company that loves giving back to the town and the community. How does sponsoring these awards align with your company's values and objectives? As a company, we are always striving to provide young people with a chance and a platform to get into business and succeed in business.
We were massive advocates of the Kickstart programme as well as being part of different schemes and innovations such as the EY Foundation that helps young people from deprived backgrounds have the chance to see first-hand how businesses work but to also do work experience within these organisatio.
