On Monday 15th July, we had the privilege of attending a civic reception, hosted by the Mayor of Stockport, Councillor Suzanne Wyatt, inside the impressive surroundings of Stockport Town Hall.

We were also joined by Leader of Stockport Borough Council Councillor Mark Hunter, Immediate Past Mayor of Stockport Councillor Graham Greenhalgh, Deputy Lieutenants Mr Paul Brearley JP, Mr Gerry Yeung OBE and Rev Charles Kwaku-Odoi, who all joined us to celebrate our achievement of being Stockport’s only recipient of the King’s Award for Enterprise 2024.

During the reception, we discussed Seda’s exceptional growth, future growth potential through our investment and expansion into GMP manufacturing, our rapidly expanding global Client portfolio and the positive impact this is having on the local economy and our ability to create new, high-skilled jobs in the region.

A special thank you to Madam Mayor Suzanne for hosting this wonderful event and for the opportunity to connect with the other Council leaders and Deputy Lieutenants.

We welcome the opportunity to continue this collaboration with our local community leaders to drive positive change into the Stockport eco-system.
