Burnley Business Awards honours borough's best

By Tim Aldred

The achievements of Burnley's business community have been honoured at a glamorous awards ceremony.

Six hundred people attended the Burnley Business Awards 2024 at Crow Wood Hotel, enjoying a champagne reception, dinner and afterparty.

Judges from the category sponsors and independent third parties selected the winners after a tough round of finalist presentations at Impact Conferencing.

Lukman Patel, chief executive at Burnley Council, said: “I know the judges were incredibly impressed by the entries and it was a tough job to whittle down the entries to the finalists and then of course to the winners. This was especially the case in the small business categories, which were by far our most popular.

“It’s testament to the hard work and resilience of our business community and I’d like to thank Burnley businesses for their commitment to raising the prosperity of the borough. And to those who did not win, please do not be disheartened, the standard of entries was high, and we’d certainly encourage you to bring your success stories to us once again at the next Burnley Business Awards.”

The winners, partners, judges and sponsors will celebrate together at a BBQ at Finsley Gate Wharf this week.
