Red Rose Awards rocks Blackpool

Blackpool’s Winter Gardens welcomed more than 900 Lancashire high flyers for a raucous and well-deserved night of celebration at the third annual Red Rose Awards, in association with Forbes Solicitors.

A special publisher’s choice award was given to Barrowford’s ACDC to honour its rapid growth and string of international achievements over recent years.

ACDC chief executive Gareth Frankland said: “We thoroughly love what we do. We’re at the top and we’re going higher.”

A Twitter wall provided by Marsden Rawsthorn kept guests entertained throughout the night and the Love to Brand photobooth gave revelers the opportunity to let their hair down and capture the moment for posterity.

A full review and picture gallery will featured in the May/June edition of Lancashire Business View.
