You can now read the March/April issue of Lancashire Business View magazine in full online, as well as our usual printed version.

The latest edition of the magazine features The Big Interview with Gill and Matthew Hall of Butlers' Farmhouse Cheeses. They talk about the incredible transformation of the business after a devastating fire at its Longridge base in 2023 and how their business has risen from the ashes.

In our annual 'Women In Business' feature we asked our readers why more women aren't leading businesses in Lancashire and what can be done to change that. We heard about the journeys of women involved in business in the county.

In our skills roundtable we chatted to education providers and employers together at Addison Project on the Hillhouse Business Park at Thornton Cleveleys to discuss Lancashire’s skills challenges.

In our regional focus we hear from Phil Riley, the leader of Blackburn with Darwen Council, who describes Lancashire’s devolution progress as the start of a journey of catch-up and the importance of acting fast.

We also have a double-header of Lancashire Leaders in this edition. Jane Cole talking about her half-century journey on public transport which has taken her from Blackpool rail station announcer to Windsor Castle to pick up an OBE. Also we hear from Professor Steve Kempster's mission to reshape business
leadership around the concept of what he calls ‘good growth’.
