We’re thrilled to announce that this week’s Made in Bury Weekly £2,000 Draw winner is Stuart Anderson from Alpha PR with ticket number 21412.

When we gave Stuart the good news about his win, his first thought was to put the money towards home and garden improvements. But after a little reflection (and a bit of humour) saying, “Actually, I’m going to spend some of it on a new suit. Got to keep flying the flag for sartorial standards in this increasingly casual world,” he said – whilst admitting that he’s currently wearing shorts and flip-flops.

Congratulations again, Stuart, and thank you for your ongoing support of the Weekly £2,000 Draw. Your contribution helps inspire and empower the next generation of Bury’s entrepreneurs.
