Merseyside Independent Business (MIB) Awards

mib-bw

Following the success of the MIB Awards in October where Matta’s were crowned overall winners we have this week released the video from the evening.

The 50-year-old family-owned business was named Merseyside Independent Business of the Year and Independent Retail Business of the Year at the awards, which are organised by Morecrofts.

Matta’s, first created by the Matta family in Granby Street, Liverpool in 1965, is credited with introducing many Merseyside palates to world tastes from areas such as Arabic Africa, Indian sub-continent and the Caribbean.

It moved to its current home on the city’s Bold Street in 1984 and has remained a firm favourite for foodies, families and health enthusiasts ever since.

Alison Lobb, managing partner at Morecrofts, said: “As a long standing independent business ourselves, nothing gives us greater pleasure than to see local businesses rewarded for their continued hard work and efforts to engage their communities with new and innovative ideas.

“The Merseyside Independent Business Awards were created to shine a spotlight on those businesses. Matta’s track record over 50 years is stunning and they are very worthy winners of the headline and retail award.”
