Competing against some of the biggest names in the region, DASCO distinguished itself with its clear vision, sustainable practices, and dedication to the Wigan community.
The judges' unanimous decision to crown DASCO as Wigan’s Business of the Year, with a remarkable 28.5-point lead, speaks volumes about their impact and leadership.
