/ Morson Maker Space Supports the Salford Business Awards! The Maker Space team were proud to play a part in this year’s Salford Business Awards, supporting the University of Salford Business Innovation Services team including Jennifer Hinsley and Nicole Rathmill in producing the trophies for the event. The Salford Business Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of local businesses across the city, recognising innovation, growth, and community contribution. Each award represents the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that continues to make Salford such a vibrant place to work and do business.

This collaboration highlights how the University’s innovation ecosystem connects creative and technical expertise to support enterprise across Greater Manchester. It was inspiring to see so many deserving winners recognised for their hard work and achievements and we were thrilled to contribute in a small way to an evening celebrating Salford’s business excellence.
