My View THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS
IS IN SAFE HANDS by Jonathan Finch
Strategy director, Big Presence
Big Presence was honoured to sit among other local business leaders and learn about the amazing budding talent in Lancashire at the judging for Sub36’s Ones to Watch.
With an array of incredibly strong candidates, all who hold such high potential, it was a challenge to select our shortlist.
However, this is exactly why we love Sub36; it highlights just how many talented young business people we have in Lancashire who are just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey.
I have previously been a Sub36 candidate myself, and having been involved in Sub36 as both a nominee and a judge,
I have experienced the positive influence it brings on both sides of the coin.
As a candidate, to have your skills and talent recognised gives you the ultimate boost and confidence you need to establish yourself in local business.

As a Lancashire-based business, Big Presence is dedicated to contributing to the growth and success of North West’s business landscape.
