Ribble Valley businesses have been honoured at a prize-giving ceremony which took place at Cltheroe's Stirk House.

Of the 159 businesses and individuals who were nominated, around 50 were listed as finalists, and the winners of 18 categories were revealed in front of an audience of 280.

Those who took home trophies included Whitewell’s Inch Perfect Trials (pictured) which won both the apprentice award and the Beacon award as the 'most inspirational'.

Sarwat Jaleel, owner of KUSHBOO SOAPS in Clitheroe, manufactures vegan and sustainable soaps, and donates one to a food bank, homeless person or women’s refuge for each one sold. Her business was a finalist in four categories, and won the Made in Ribble Valley award.

Stella Brunskill, Mayor of Ribble Valley, said:"I think it is fantastic, all these people have gone the extra mile. Setting up and running your own business is going the extra mile. You can feel the enthusiasm in the room.”
