Ashton Town Team and Bromleys Solicitors LLP are delighted to announce the winners of this year's Ashton Independent Business Awards.
Starting back in 2020, the awards have consistently recognised many of the quality, independent retailers in the town centre.
The first award to be presented was Sponsors Choice and Bromleys Solicitors were delighted to recognise The Petman on Stamford Street.
The business has been in Ashton for over 45 years providing a range of items/accessories for pets and fishermen.
This year’s winner for Fashion and Footwear went to Seraphina on Stamford Street which has grown in popularity over the years.
Fresh Food award had three finalists from Ashton Market with the winner Briggs Butchers who launched a delivery service during the pandemic.
We know our Specialist Retail is an important award that recognises many businesses who focus on a particular market. This year it was wonderful to award JRS Collectables on Market Avenue.
One of the most competitive categories for 2022 was Hair and Beauty and it was great to recognise the customer service and hard work by the team at Hair By Jodie.
