Red Rose Awards unveils new sponsors

The national award-winning awards will highlight the success of businesses across 26 categories and the call is now on for entries.

And now the organisers can reveal that Blackpool and Fylde College, EPSL Educational Printing, Eventus Legal and Birchall Foodservice have all pledged their support.

David Pickering, managing director of EPSL Educational Printing, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the Skills Provider Award at The Red Rose Awards 2018. Equipping people with the rights skills is essential to help businesses succeed and create a thriving regional economy and there are so many amazing organisations, institutions and people that are committed to developing our county’s future and current workforce.

"EPSL Educational Printing was established in Blackburn more than four decades ago and we provide millions of exercise books and other resources to schools across the UK and beyond and are honoured to be part of the educational journey of tomorrow’s workforce. We are also proud to be part of such a unique and vibrant business community, and what better way to mark that than by being part of the Red Rose Awards?”

"The excitement the awards create both during the process and especially on the night is infectious. When I was asked to be the sponsor again for 2018 for the Law firm of the year award, I was honoured and delighted to accept." Additional promotional opportunities are still available and companies interesting in entering the awards have until midnight on January 12 to submit their nominations.
