NEW YEAR: SAME DEDICATION TO SERVING ALL OUR READERS
The new year is here and with it a chance to share your success stories with the team here at Lancashire Business View.
We’ve a busy 2026 planned delivering the stories and reporting on the issues that matter to you.
With a reach of over 50,000 readers across print, web and social media, the county’s leading business publication is here throughout the year to help you make the right connections.
Our 2026 editorial calendar is packed with themed features, regional focuses, and sector- specific reports.
In the March/April edition we will shine the spotlight on creative businesses, property and ‘Doing the Deal’ – which will explore some of the best dealmaking in the county.
There will also be opportunities to talk about pensions and retirement planning in our advertising platforms.
Our May/June issue will see the focus turn to AI and cyber matters, with a roundtable discussion planned on rural business and food, another vital sector for our economy.
We’ll be looking to gain valuable insights into the world of transport and logistics, while our Business Growth section will be dedicated to franchising and licensing.
The summer issue in July/August will see the return of our much anticipated ‘Hot 100’ feature which once again will highlight the top-performing SMEs in Lancashire. And this is the edition when we put family businesses under the spotlight.
In the September/October’s magazine we aim to deliver a special report on advanced manufacturing, with roundtable discussion on education and an insight into regeneration in Lancashire.
The final edition of the year will explore the energy sector with a special Sub36 feature picking out some of the finest young professionals who are making waves in the business world locally.
