Held on 1st December at The Ashcroft in Whitworth, the awards ceremony saw almost 200 business owners and guests gather to discover who had won in each of the 17 categories up for grabs. 

Speaking after the event, Liz said: "I'm so grateful for all the nominations and to the judges for awarding me this title. It's great to be recognised by my local business community like this, and I know that being able to present mine as an award-winning business will give it a competitive edge going forwards.

"But as a working mum, it's just as much about being an inspiration and role model to my daughter. She's already told me 'I like it when you win awards Mummy' which makes me feel even more proud of myself for winning."

Liz specialises in B2B commercial photography, capturing high quality images that portray people, products and places at their best. From corporate headshots and product photography for online e-commerce retailers, to event photography and outdoor spaces, she creates stunning, professional photos for businesses and charities of all shapes and sizes.
