A number of high-profile firms in Stockport are either sponsoring an award or backing the event, including Gorvins Solicitors, Clarke Nicklin LLP, Orbit Developments and NatWest Bank, plus the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Stockport Council. The Stockport Express and Stockport Times are the official media partners.
We all know Stockport is a fantastic place to do business - now let's tell the world. We don't want to put on an average, provincial event - it needs to be a world class event that promotes Stockport outside of Stockport. This is not just about big business, or about the service sector, it will be all inclusive and we need people to get involved.
