A long-standing Congleton business has been recognised for its contribution to the council.

Congleton Hearing Centre has been presented with a Congleton High Street Award by the Mayor of Congleton, councillor Robert Brittain.

The award recognises independent businesses that have demonstrated commitment to the community and a dedication to keeping the town centre thriving.

Anthony Berg, founder and audiologist at Congleton Hearing Centre, said: "Receiving this recognition from the town where we first opened our doors in 2007 means a great deal to us.

"Congleton has always been at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to employ local people and support residents through every stage of their hearing care journey.

"While our clinic and technology have evolved over the years, our values have stayed the same.

"We combine state-of-the-art equipment with an old-fashioned approach to service, taking time with people and making sure they feel genuinely cared for.

"This award reflects the importance of community in everything we do."

Over the past 19 years, Congleton Hearing Centre has supported countless residents with personalised hearing care and trusted aftercare.

 In July 2025, the business relocated to a larger, state-of-the-art clinic just two doors down from its original premises on Bridge Street.

The clinic employs a close-knit team of three, including local receptionist Kay Brough, alongside Anthony and Nikki Dawson, who provides Friday, weekend and holiday cover.

Last year also saw Congleton Hearing Centre become a partner of The Hearing Clinic UK.

The collaboration has enabled significant investment in diagnostic equipment and the latest hearing aid technology, enhancing the services available to local patients while allowing the clinic to remain fully independent.
