Recruitment specialists Sowena Group has signed up to sponsor the Deal of the Year Award at next year's Red Rose Awards.

Sowena, which specialises in finance and accountancy recruitment, supports high growth, private equity and venture capital backed businesses with executive search and senior finance appointments.

Backed by Lancashire Business View, the Red Rose Awards are the country's biggest regional celebration of business excellence across the county. The awards provide a platform to promote success and encourage trade within Lancashire.

The Deal of the Year Award recognises businesses that have completed a significant transaction which has materially shaped their future.

Chief executive Perran Cooke said: "The Red Rose Awards was one of the very first sponsorships Sowena committed to after launching, and supporting the awards has been an easy decision ever since. Lancashire is home to an incredible community of ambitious businesses, entrepreneurs and innovators, and we're proud to play a small part in celebrating their success.

"To now sponsor the Deal of the Year category is particularly exciting. We have the privilege of hearing first-hand from businesses that are driving transformational growth through investment, acquisitions and strategic deals. Their ambition is helping to shape Lancashire's thriving economy, and we're delighted to recognise and celebrate those achievements.”

The awards are currently open for entries via www.redroseawards.co.uk

The winners will be announced at a prestigious black tie event at Blackpool Winter Gardens on Friday March 11, where guests enjoy a drinks reception, a delicious three-course meal, an awards ceremony, and a lively after party to celebrate the region’s outstanding businesses in style. 

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for the Red Rose Awards. If your business would like to get involved, email Joanne Hindley at [email protected]
