Complete wins the Creative Business Award at the Red Rose Awards 2026

Over 1,000 business professionals came together on 12th March 2026 to celebrate the 16th Red Rose Awards ceremony.

The Red Rose Awards are hosted by Lancashire Business View, which celebrates commerce and industry throughout our local area. Not only does it highlight some excellent businesses, but it also encourages inter-trading within the county. 

Becoming finalists 

This year, we had the pleasure of being named finalists in three categories at the awards ceremony.

• Creative Business Award
• AI and Tech Innovation Award
• Small Business Award 

Taking home the win 

We were all so proud to be named the winner for the Creative Business Award, and believe it is a testament to our hard work and commitment to supporting businesses locally, nationally, and globally, with clients in America, Europe and Dubai.

Tom Smith, chief executive of Complete, said: "I’m so proud of my amazing team for all of their continued hard work. Over the years, we have shown passion and resilience after being named finalists, but not quite taking home the win.

This year, something truly felt different. We have spent a lot of time listening to feedback, developing our services and as always, ensuring that we are providing the highest quality service for our clients.

Winning the award is a testament to our dedication and is one that we will be talking about for a long time.”

First time for everything 

Tom and his wife, Sarah, the founder of Opulence Hairdressing, brought a new twist to the competition as they were both named finalists in the same category - Small Business Award.
