Issue 130
We are hosting the Lancashire Business View magazine networking event for the September/October 2026 edition on Thursday 17 September, from 8:30 am to 10:30 am at The Beehive.
This event is in association with Northern Trust, supported by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, and powered by Seriun.
The event will be a chance to network and bring the magazine to life, featuring elements from the new edition and a glimpse of what’s to come in the next issue.
Attending provides an opportunity to hear from and connect with those featured in the magazine, as well as members of Lancashire’s wider business community.
The event is also an opportunity to meet the Lancashire Business View team and find out how you can get involved in the magazine and our programme of events.
