Elizabeth Porter, managing director at Brysdales, was ‘extremely proud’ to be sponsoring the award.

Joanne Hindley, sales director for Lancashire Business View,  said: “Every year, we add new elements as we have an obsession to keep the Red Rose Awards fresh.

“We will only bring a new category in when there is a real need to do it.
