We’re incredibly proud to have been awarded Small Business of The Year at this year’s North West Business Masters Awards!

The annual awards ceremony recognises the achievements of companies across the North West with nearly 300 guests gathering for the event which took place at The Midland in Manchester, hosted by TheBusinessDesk.com.

We were presented with the award after what has been a record year for our agency, despite challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, with headcount, turnover and profit up to our highest levels ever.

This year also saw us expand our North West footprint, with a new studio in Manchester’s Circle Square, giving us the opportunity to continue to grow the team and our integrated offer for clients, as well as growing our contribution to the North as a true advocate of the Northern Powerhouse.

We’ve also significantly increased our headcount over the past year, bringing specialities such as 3D motion design, UX design and testing and digital marketing expertise in-house to expand our offer for clients.

Agent Academy has also taken significant steps forward, having helped more than 300 young people into meaningful careers in the creative and digital industry, generating over £15 million in accumulative salaries and supporting businesses to find the very best talent.

In September 2021, Agent Academy launched its first ever programme in Greater Manchester, in partnership with CGI, following its success to date in Liverpool City Region.

It’s safe to say it’s been a busy 12 months, so we’re delighted to have received this recognition of all of our hard work! Here’s to the year ahead – cheers!
