Supporting Local Success: IronMarket Headlines the NUL BID Awards 2025
Recently, we had the privilege of being the headline sponsor for the NUL BID Awards 2025 an evening dedicated to celebrating the people and businesses driving Newcastle-under-Lyme forward.
Hosted by Newcastle-under-Lyme BID, the event brought together a wide range of local organisations, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, all with one shared purpose: to recognise the passion, creativity, and hard work that make Newcastle thrive.
From the incredible grazing boards to the inspiring stories behind each award nominee, it was a night that truly reflected the community spirit at the heart of our town.
Why We Chose to Support
At IronMarket Wealth, supporting the NUL BID Awards was more than sponsorship, it was a chance to give back to the town where our journey began.
IronMarket was founded right here in the heart of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and our roots in the community remain an important part of who we are. As our NTWRK CEO, Wes Wilkes, shared during his speech on the night, Newcastle isn’t just where IronMarket started it’s where our values were shaped.
“Newcastle-under-Lyme represents resilience, connection, and ambition the same qualities that drive IronMarket forward. Supporting the BID Awards is about celebrating those same values across our local business community.” – Wes Wilkes, CEO
The evening was filled with recognition for outstanding achievements across a variety of categories from local retailers and hospitality businesses to service providers and community champions. Each story highlighted the energy, innovation, and commitment that make our local area such a fantastic place to live and work.
It was a pleasure to meet so many familiar faces and new connections, all united by a shared passion for building a stronger, more connected Newcastle.
As headline sponsors, we were proud to play a part in bringing this event to life and helping to shine a light on the success stories that often go unseen day to day.
Congratulations to All
We’d like to extend our congratulations to all the shortlisted nominees and winners. Every business and individual recognised at the awards represents the best of our community, people who go the extra mile, support others, and make a real difference.
Events like the NUL BID Awards remind us how important it is to celebrate progress, collaboration, and the local spirit that keeps Newcastle thriving.
