Community & Business Partners and Blackburn Youth Zone, which both played vital roles in supporting their communities through the toughest months of the pandemic, were also recognised during the evening.


The Lancashire Business View special award was granted to the Eric Wright property group of Bamber Bridge, which in total employs more than 650 people across its various divisions. Again, the response to the pandemic played its part in the recognition it received.


The company acted quickly to convert various premises into Covid-19 intensive care wards and recovery facilities.


It has also sponsored the vocational training of 4,200 Preston College students since 2005, and as a charitable trust, 100 per cent of profits made are reinvested in the company or donated to good causes.


Jeremy Hartley, group managing director of Eric Wright, said: “It is such an honour to get this recognition. We are firmly rooted in this part of the world and we believe our business is part of the community.


“You are only as good as the people who work for you. The last two years have tested everyone to the limit, but our people have really pulled together. This award is for our staff and everyone who has worked so hard over the last few years.”


Ryan Lee, business asset manager of The Fun Experts, winners of the Resilience Award, said: “It has been a trying time for us, but the people


we have around us means we are very lucky. Without them it would have been very difficult for us to get through the last 18 months.”


Richard Slater, publisher of Lancashire Business View and founder of the Red Rose Awards, said: “These awards have been a long time coming - 20 months since the last awards ceremony - and so much has changed in that time.


“Every business represented in the room was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in one way or another, but as those on stage proved, creativity, ingenuity and resilience can turn even the most difficult circumstances into rich opportunities.


“It was fantastic to see so many people together, celebrating the best the county has to offer. Congratulations to all the winners, who thoroughly deserve their honours.”


The evening also featured fine food, sourced from Lancashire suppliers and presented by Campbell and Rowley, and performances from county- based musicians and entertainers. After the awards ceremony the party continued in the Winter Gardens arena.


The evening’s audience also donated generously to the Community Foundation for Lancashire’s Red Rose Responding Fund, which is helping people and organisations across the county who have suffered from the effects of the pandemic.
