Red Rose Awards

Insurance group Howden has signed up to sponsor the Transformation Award at next year's Red Rose Awards.

Howden is a multinational insurance broker with offices across the world, including in Preston. Starting out in a tiny office in London in 1994, the business has grown and now manages premiums on behalf of millions of clients spanning 100 countries.

Backed by Lancashire Business View, the Red Rose Awards are the country's biggest regional celebration of business excellence across the county. The awards provide a platform to promote success and encourage trade within Lancashire.

Shellim Islam, associate director at Howden, said: "This is our first time sponsoring the Red Rose Awards and we are extremely excited to be collaborating to support the local businesses that are the heartbeat of the surrounding Lancashire area.

"Sponsoring the Transformation Award specifically is a proud moment for Howden, as transformation lies at the heart of sustainable business success.

"We are passionate about supporting ambitious organisations as they navigate change, seize new opportunities and build resilience, and we are delighted to celebrate those businesses that are driving positive transformation."

The awards are currently open for entries via www.redroseawards.co.uk

The winners will be announced at a prestigious black tie event at Blackpool Winter Gardens on Friday March 11, where guests enjoy a drinks reception, a delicious three-course meal, an awards ceremony, and a lively after party to celebrate the region’s outstanding businesses in style. 

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for the Red Rose Awards. If your business would like to get involved, email Joanne Hindley at [email protected]
