The 29th winner of the Made in Bury Business Draw was a special one!
The lucky number drawn on Wednesday, the day before our annual Made in Bury Business Awards, belonged to someone who was actually attending the event. Rather than go out on Wednesday as we usually would, we decided to save the surprise for the MIBBA’s the following night, where we could present the £2,000 cheque in front of over 360 people from the Bury business community.
The lucky winner was Paul Corbin from Cartime! We surprised Paul by announcing his number in the middle of the ...
This week’s Made in Bury Business Draw didn’t quite go to plan! Our 28th winner, Jonathan Acton, is the first winner that we haven’t been able to surprise!
This morning, after drawing his lucky number, we contacted his office at Bury Council to try and get hold of him without giving away the surprise. His colleagues didn’t seem sure of Johnathon’s whereabouts and we waited in the hope they would get back to us.
A few hours passed, and no news, so we did a Made in Bury Business Draw first and contacted him ourselves! Unfortunately, t...

We were almost about to admit defeat and reveal the win to Clark over the phone, when we managed to get hold...

Once a detective always a detective!
