Leisure Guard Security sponsors Bolton News Business Awards category

Leisure Guard Security has signed up to sponsor the Flying the Flag for Bolton category at the 2026 ceremony, which celebrates individuals, businesses, and organisations that champion the town and help raise its profile across the region and beyond.

The award recognises those who show outstanding pride in Bolton through their work, community involvement, and commitment to making the borough a better place to live, work, and visit.

Leisure Guard Security joins an impressive line-up of businesses backing this year’s awards, which shine a spotlight on the achievements, innovation, and success stories that continue to drive Bolton’s economy forward.

Richard Duggan, regional editor at Newsquest North West and editor of The Bolton News, said: “We are delighted to welcome Leisure Guard Security as sponsor of the Flying the Flag for Bolton Award.

“This category celebrates people and organisations that are passionate about our town and work tirelessly to promote everything that makes Bolton special.

“It is fitting that a respected local business such as Leisure Guard Security is supporting this award.”

Saj Kadva, operations director at Leisure Guard Security, said: “As a business founded in Bolton 25 years ago, supporting the Bolton News Business Awards and sponsoring the Flying the Flag for Bolton Award was an easy decision for Leisure Guard Security.

“Bolton is more than simply the place where our business was established. It is our home.

“The company’s owners were born and raised here; our journey started here, and for a quarter of a century, Bolton has provided the people, businesses, and opportunities that have helped us grow into the company we are today.

“Over the last 25 years, Leisure Guard Security has built a reputation for protecting businesses, public spaces, events, and communities across the North West and nationally.

“Whilst our reach has expanded, our roots have never changed.

“We remain proudly Boltonian and committed to supporting the town that helped shape our success.

“The Flying the Flag for Bolton Award represents everything we believe in.

“It celebrates the individuals, businesses, and organisations that showcase Bolton at its very best, whether through innovation, community spirit, enterprise, or achievement.

“These are the people who help strengthen the town’s reputation and inspire future generations.

“At Leisure Guard Security, we understand the importance of people.

“Our success has always been built on the dedication of our team and the trust our clients place in us.

“We are privileged to work with a diverse range of organisations and individuals who contribute positively to the communities they serve, and many of those success stories begin right here in Bolton.

“We believe Bolton has an incredible heritage, a strong business community, and a bright future.
