A Bury tech company has hosted a networking event for business leaders.

Around 50 business owners, managers and public sector professionals from across Cheshire, East Lancashire, and Greater Manchester attended the event.

The networking was hosted by Bury-based Avoira, and organised by marketing and advertising company "Thebestofthenorthwest".

The lunchtime gathering took place at Avoira's headquarters on Salford Street.

Executives from various industries, such as accounting, construction, financial services, health, hospitality, tourism, and waste management, were present.

The event provided an opportunity for attendees to introduce themselves and network over a light lunch.

Avoira hosted the event following its recent recognition as Bury's "Most Loved Business Solutions Provider" at Thebestofthenorthwest's "Local and Loved Awards".

The company was also shortlisted in the awards category for "Bury's Most Loved Technology and Communications Service Provider".

Andrew Roberts, managing director of Avoira, said: "We were delighted to be invited to host what turned out to be a packed gathering of business and public sector leaders.

"Our thanks go to Thebestofthenorthwest for organising such a tremendously well attended and productive event."
