Red Rose Awards 2016 launched!

By Dean

12 Nov 2015

Businesses across Lancashire are being called on to enter the national award-winning Red Rose Awards, which will crown the county’s best firms across 26 categories.

 

The 2016 Awards will once again feature joint headline sponsorship, with Forbes Solicitors reaffirming its support for the sixth year in a row, and Barclays joining for a third consecutive year.

“We are giving businesses the opportunity to shout about the great things they do and achieve and we hope they’ll grasp that opportunity with both hands by entering. There is at least one category applicable to every business in the county.

“We are also proud to once more have our fantastic headline sponsors, Forbes Solicitors and Barclays, on board for 2016.”

“I look forward to judging more high quality entries and I would encourage any business who has something to shout about to enter.”

“The awards recognise businesses that are achieving growth and that are contributing to the overall success of the region, something Barclays is incredibly supportive of.

Red Rose Awards is the current holder of the PPA Connect Best UK Business Awards Event title.

To take part in the Red Rose Awards, visit www.redroseawards.co.uk. The closing date for entries is January 15 2016 and the celebration will take place, once again, at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, on March 10.
