Leading from the front has become the norm for many Lancashire businesses – as it helps shape the future of the company.
In an ever-changing business landscape, effective leadership has never been more critical. That’s why the Leadership Team of the Year category at the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs), proudly sponsored by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), holds such prestige.
This award recognises leadership teams that not only guide their businesses to success but do so with vision, integrity, and impact. From managing change and inspiring staff to driving innovation and building resilience, strong leadership is the bedrock of any thriving organisation.
As one of the UK’s leading modern universities, UCLan understands the power of great leadership to transform businesses and communities. Their sponsorship of this category reflects a shared commitment to nurturing future leaders and celebrating those already making a difference.
Dr Adrian Wright, Director, Institute for Research into Work, Organisations and Employment, University of Central Lancashire, said: “Strong leadership transforms businesses, empowers employees, and fuels growth.
“The Leadership Team of the Year award highlights the very best examples of collaboration, decision-making, and innovation across Lancashire’s business community.”
Prof Sue Smith, Director, Centre for SME and Enterprise Development, UCLan, said: “We know that great leadership is about more than just results – it’s about culture, vision, and resilience. This award celebrates the teams who are making a lasting impact in their organisations and beyond.”
The BIBAs is Lancashire’s premier business awards, and the Leadership Team of the Year category is a testament to the collaborative strength that propels organisations forward – especially during uncertain times.
Winners will be revealed at the glittering awards ceremony on 19th September at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
