Leaders of tomorrow to be honoured at Young ’Uns Awards 2016

The Young ’Uns Awards is back for 2016 to honour the most impressive, innovative and inspiring individuals and businesses in the county for those aged 36 and under.

Organised by Lancashire Business View magazine and backed by BAE Systems, Young ’Uns Awards will honour Lancashire’s young business stars across a range of categories at a ceremony held at The Spanish Ballroom at Winter Gardens Blackpool on October 20.

From legal eagles to digital dynamos and red-hot retailers, there are 12 categories in total to ensure that anyone making waves in their industry has chance to have their story heard. Following validation and pre-scoring by the judging panel, finalists will be announced on September 12.

Richard Slater, publisher of Lancashire Business View, said: “The Young ’Uns idea began as a popular feature in our magazine, profiling the sharpest business minds aged 36 and under. Eventually, we had so many fantastic stories that it became obvious we needed to honour them properly.

“We have added the interview stage to our judging process this year and looking forward to meeting finalists and celebrating their achievements.”
