The Greater Manchester Business Awards have now arrived at their 5 year anniversary. There are a good number of awards similar to this, but the longevity and popularity for this event has seems to have grown from strength to strength. The first awards took place in 2017, and each year after that culminated in a glitzy black tie evening ceremony held at a landmark Manchester venue.
2020 however was when everything changed! COVID had put a stop to all social gatherings, and for new organisers Rich Media Group International this was a pivotal moment. The 2020 event did go ahead, and it was hugely successful, culminating in a virtual event hosted by Rich Media. The new organisers as it turned out had exactly the right skillsets to make the awards evening a fabulous success in spite of not taking place in front of a crowd. So, onto 2021, and we’re back in familiar territory with a fabulous black tie gala event being held on Friday 3 September, this time at Hotel Brooklyn in the heart of Manchester City Centre. As per all the previous awards, GM Business Connect are official sponsors, and are very pleased to be working closely with Rich Media again.
