Since launching in 2005, the magazine has been at the heart of the county’s business community, championing success stories, innovation and collaboration across Lancashire.
In the past two decades, 125 editions of the printed magazine have been published while flagship events such as the national award- winning Red Rose Awards and Lancashire Business Day have brought the county together.
The magazine also takes pride in putting the spotlight on Lancashire’s up and coming young business talent in the Sub36 campaign while
the most profitable SMEs are the focus of an annual Hot100 feature. All that and more was celebrated at the party held at Blackburn Rugby Club and attended by supporters of the magazine over the past two decades.
Three of the faces who featured in the first issue were in attendance: Jane Law, Paula Holden and Gareth Frankland.
Richard Slater, chairman of Lancashire Business View, said: “Twenty years ago, we set out to connect Lancashire’s business community.
“Lancashire Business View has always been about collaboration, ambition and taking pride in our county.”
More than 100 people attended and entertainment was provided by Blowjangles and magician Ian Lavin.
LION WILL ROARS WITH PRIDE ABOUT HIS COUNTY ROOTS
England World Cup winning rugby star Will Greenwood was the star attraction at a sold-out event at LANX Shoes headquarters in Whalley.
Will was born in Lancashire in 1972 and grew up in Hurst Green and is brand ambassador for the footwear company.
The evening gave guests an insightful journey through his incredible career, from pulling on the England shirt and winning the World Cup, to tours with the British and Irish Lions, and his proud Lancashire roots.
The event was hosted by Richard Slater, chairman of Lancashire Business View, and was followed by a Q&A session with the 53-year-old.
Marv Vaghetti, LANX founder, said having Will Greenwood on board was a “proud milestone for the brand”. He said: “He’s a true legend of the game, with roots that run close to home.
“Will’s achievements on the pitch speak for themselves, and having someone of
Will Greenwood
his calibre represent LANX helps solidify our growing presence within the rugby community. It’s a partnership built on shared values and local pride.”
Will kicked off his rugby career at Preston Grasshoppers, then stepped up to Harlequins and Leicester Tigers.
He won 55 caps for England, and was part of England’s 2003 World Cup-winning squad. He also played in three British and Irish Lions tours, including the iconic tour of 1997.
