Back in 2019, we stood on stage at the GMCC Wigan Business Awards after winning the Creative and Digital category…….. Fast forward to 2025, and here we are, sponsoring that very same award.
Not many people expected a security firm to take home a creative award in the first place, but we’ve always believed in doing things a bit differently.
Now, we get to help shine a spotlight on the businesses doing the same.
Over the years, we’ve kept pretty involved with Wigan’s business scene and we’ve worked with Launch on numerous occasions.
From exhibiting at Wigan Expo to turning up at Launch NW’s networking events (usually with strong opinions and bad jokes), we’ve always enjoyed connecting with other local businesses.
Last year, we even got to be the drinks sponsor at the Wigan Business Awards—which might explain why we was everyone’s favourite people on the night.
Sponsoring the Creative and Digital category this year felt like a full-circle moment.
“Let’s be honest, no one saw a security firm winning the Creative and Digital category, but I love a good curveball. Creativity and tech drive every part of modern business, even in security.
I wanted to back this category because Wigan’s creative talent deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported. Plus, it gives me a chance to pretend I’m cooler than I am.”
— Mike Lawrenson, Managing Director, WN Security
This category highlights some of the most innovative, ambitious businesses across the borough—from agencies and videographers to animators, marketers, photographers, and developers.
It’s an industry that’s constantly moving, and Wigan’s talent deserves recognition on a big stage.
We’re proud to support them.
The Wigan Business Awards 2025 will take place on Friday 7th November at The Edge Arena.
