Priyanka Batra, Director of the Red Hall Hotel has become the latest addition to the Made in Bury Patrons Club, further strengthening its commitment to supporting the next generation of local business owners, through the Made in Bury Business Academy. Launched in 2016, the Business Academy provides start-ups with expert coaching, one to one mentoring, and a strong peer network, significantly improving survival rates compared to the national average.

The Red Hall Hotel is located near Ramsbottom. With 37 beautifully appointed en-suite rooms, the Red Hall is one of the North West’s leading venues for weddings, conferences and events. It is also home to the Mélange Restaurant and Bar, offering a popular Mediterranean inspired menu, afternoon tea and light bites. There are also 3 function suites, the largest of which can hold up to 150 people and includes a private bar and lounge area.

Priyanka joins Headline Partner Warren Court of Aspin Group and fellow Patrons including Sara Beaumont of WHN, Liam Gately, Katy Richardson of Cross Plant Hire, Josh Morris of Busy Bins, and Andy Berry of Berry Electrical Services, and Sponsors BusinessLodge, all passionate about supporting local enterprise.

The Patrons also sit on the panel for the Made in Bury Interest Free Loans, launched in September 2024, which provide loans of £2,000 to £5,000 to help early-stage businesses grow and thrive.

Phil Fellone, Managing Partner for Made in Bury said:
“We are delighted to welcome Priyanka and the Red Hall Hotel as Patrons. Having successful, local businesses involved in supporting Made in Bury is invaluable. Their experience, insight and commitment, will make a real difference to the businesses coming through the Academy.”
