Sub36 – The best of the best

Celebrations went long into the night following Lancashire Business View’s Sub36 awards at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.

The awards evening was the culmination of a year of activities organised by Lancashire Business View under the Sub36 banner, all aimed at supporting younger people in the business world.

The awards marked the achievements of remarkable men and women from across the county who are aged under-36 and setting the pace in the business world.
