Lancashire Business View will compete against events from the likes of Incisive Media, Findlay Media, Centaur Media and Haymarket Media Group for prizes at the awards which take place in London in December.

Richard Slater, publisher of Lancashire Business View, said: “This is a huge honour for a small team from Lancashire. We entered these awards last year hoping for a good night out; bringing home the prize was a big bonus!

“To make the shortlist again, and in three different categories, makes us extremely proud and excited in equal measures.

“It shows the hard work and dedication our team puts into delivering events that support the Lancashire business community and  it’s a testament to all those who contribute to our events – our entrants, judges, sponsors and suppliers - who make the events what they are.

“Our events are designed to celebrate Lancashire business, provide the best possible platforms to promote success, and to encourage trade in the county.”
