Thompsons Contracts 'Highly Commended' at the BIBAs

It was a night to remember when the cream of Lancashire’s business community came together for the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) 2024. 

Making our BIBAs debut, team Thompsons was shortlisted for a total of five awards: Business of the Year, Medium Business of the Year, Scale Up Business of the Year, Construction Business of the Year and Leadership Business of the Year. 

Though we didn’t come away with a trophy this time, we were proud runners up in both the Medium Business and Construction Business categories, and thrilled to be named Highly Commended in the latter. 

The BIBAs is the county’s largest, longest running and most prestigious business awards ceremony.  

Known as ‘the one they all want to win,’ it’s organised by the North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce with the final held every September at the stunning Blackpool Tower Ballroom. 

As well as the awards, the BIBAs Foundation uses donations made by businesses during the ceremony to help nurture and support young entrepreneurs from across the region.  

Congratulations to all this year’s winners, and roll on the BIBAs 2025!
