B&FC returns as judging partner for Red Rose Awards: “We love nothing more!”

Blackpool and the Fylde College will return as judging partner for the Red Rose Awards for the second consecutive year.

We spoke to Sarah Hall, the college’s head of business development, who shared her insight on the crucial role the event plays in the county’s economy, as well as divulging insider’s tips on how businesses can stand out and shine through their nominations.

The Red Rose Awards is open for entries until midnight on Friday, 13 December, and winners will be announced at a one of a kind ceremony attended by more than 1,000 guests, on 12 March at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.

RRA: How did B&FC first get involved with the Red Rose Awards?

SH: B&FC has for years nurtured mutually beneficial strategic relationships with hundreds of Lancashire businesses, including event organisers Lancashire Business View. And as one of the county's large employers ourselves, we have a lot of opportunities to put into practice lessons we learn from our regional counterparts. 

With those things in mind, it was logical to take the next step and celebrate the best of this magnificent region's businesses by lending our support to the Red Rose Awards.
