Stockport gets ready to celebrate its creative industries at Made in Stockport Awards 2024

Stockport’s creative sector is getting ready to celebrate its best and brightest at this year’s Made in Stockport Awards.

This year’s awards ceremony will be taking place at Savoy Cinema Heaton Moor on 27th June from 6pm, hosted by radio presenter Chelsea Norris.

The awards were created by Aqua Design Group in 2021 to support the town’s creative sector to recover after the Covid-19 pandemic. And this year’s event wouldn’t be possible without the backing principal sponsors Rise Homes, Azets and SAS Daniels LLP. Aqua Design Group was also supported this year with the help of Quirky Frog; photography and video throughout the awards is by Alice Alanor Photography.
