Altrincham and Sale Chamber of Commerce honoured the area's best businesses at their seventh annual award ceremony.

Over 100 local business people gathered at the Best Western Cresta Court hotel on Thursday evening for the ceremony, hosted by Greatest Hits radio DJ Darren Proctor.

Carrington-based Corner House Design and Print took the award for Business of The Year, with Timperley’s DJM Dairies taking Micro Business of the Year.

Altrincham & Sale Chamber CEO, Sue Aldridge, said: “Once again the judging was an almost impossible task when confronted with so many fantastic local businesses from Altrincham and Sale.

“We may not be a large area, but the quality of businesses operating on our doorstep are superlative and these awards were designed to recognise that.”

The event was sponsored by Turkish Airlines who gave away two return business-class flights to travel anywhere in their vast network.
