Marketing WAM and Bellway partner to champion region’s business success

Marketing WAM, in partnership with housebuilder Bellway, will champion the Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Macclesfield businesses that have survived and thrived during the last 18 months with the first ever Marketing WAM Business Awards.

After a challenging 18 months for all businesses, the awards will recognise those companies from across our region who have had success despite the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The Marketing WAM Business Awards will highlight successes across five categories:

1. Changing Paths – recognising individuals who have changed or been forced to change careers during the last 18 months and succeeded
2. New start-up – for businesses who have established and succeeded in difficult times
3. Pivot – organisations that have found success by adapting their business model to changing times
4. Innovation – recognising businesses that have innovated to ride out the pandemic
5. Caring for your people – highlighting the businesses that have acted with care and consideration for the pressures on their teams

To enter, businesses just have to submit a written entry of no more than 750 words explaining how they have found success in one of the five categories, as well as any supplementary images and video footage they wish for judges to review.

The Marketing WAM Business Awards are free to enter for all businesses in the Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Macclesfield area.
