All Stars Business Awards
Eddie Smith, New East Manchester's Chief Executive, said: "Competition was really strong this year, but Wigs Up North! really stood out.
"...showed true entrepreneurial talent and demonstrated that despite current market conditions, if you have a good business model and the determination to succeed, your business can flourish."
Councillor Jim Battle, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council
Wow! We won the New East Manchester All Stars Business award.
It is slowly sinking in now. The Awards dinner was fantastic in the stunning setting of Gorton Monastry.
We had made our minds up to just have a great evening regardless of the outcome. But when the gold envelope was opened and it was little ole Wigs Up North, well...! Liz wants to relive the moment as she can't remember what happened but she does remember leaping up and thinking her Mum's face was a picture. Jackie remembers muffling a scream and we think Vicky was frozen to her chair. What a blast!
Congratulations to the other finalists for getting through. It was a tough competition and there was only one point in it, we certainly didn't envy the judges job. Keep checking back and we will let you know soon how we are investing the prize money, it's going to be great!
