By Dean

24 Mar 2016

It’s the final call for businesses based in Blackburn or Darwen to enter the Hive Blackburn and Darwen Business Awards which will close for entries at midnight on 1 April 2016.

Led by the Hive business leaders network, the Awards will take place on Thursday 26 May 2016 at the magnificent Blackburn Cathedral in association with Blackburn College, Capita and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.

“It’s a great chance for businesses, organisations and individuals to shout about what they do and celebrate the extraordinary people working for them.

“The awards are free to enter online and we’ve made the process very simple. Those that entered last year found it straight forward and rewarding.

“We look forward to receiving entries and celebrating with everyone on the night.”

Other categories include; The Newcomer Award, The Family Business Award, The International Achievement Award, The High Growth Award, The Innovation Award, The Investing in Future Skills Award, The Creative and Digital Award, The Made in Blackburn and Darwen Manufacturing Award and, new for this year, The Buzz Award and The Commitment to Blackburn and Darwen Award.
