RED ROSE AWARD FINALISTS By Rob Kelly


MAKING GREAT CONNECTIONS


It’s Red Rose Awards season, the time of year when we come together to celebrate the ingenuity, innovation and achievements of businesses across the county.


And what makes this year extra special is that it is the 15th anniversary of the awards, which culminate in a fun-packed memorable March evening at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool.


And as part of our annual celebration of excellence, and one of the highlights of the county’s business calendar, here is an inside look at some of the 2025 finalists in their own words.


we have showcased companies committed to helping the environment and supporting their local communities.


In total there are 23 different categories giving a true reflection of Lancashire and where it excels. And this year as the Red Rose Awards continue to grow and develop, we have introduced a new category - the transport and logistic award.


Joanne Hindley, sales director at Lancashire Business View, said: “It’s brilliant to see more than 100 diverse businesses from across the county making it through as finalists to the big event in Blackpool.
