As the BIBAs on Tour enters its penultimate week, attention turns to the innovators and those giving something back.
It’s also the turn of medium-sized companies to show off their credentials, as well as those in the construction sector and businesses scaling up their organisations.
Innovation is the heartbeat of a thriving economy, and this award highlights companies that are not just keeping pace but setting the standard in their industries.
Sponsored by Intersys-Micronics, this category showcases the very best in innovation in Lancashire, from bringing a new product to market, to a new process designed to streamline a production line or a new way of working which has added extra productivity to a workforce.
Often the unsung heroes of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, medium businesses embody a blend of agility, resilience, and ambition. These businesses are the driving force behind economic growth, job creation, and community development, making a significant impact on the business landscape.
The Medium Business of the Year award, sponsored by MHA, celebrates their ability to thrive in a competitive environment, adapt to evolving market trends, and innovate to meet the needs of their customers.
And those businesses who give something back will also be in focus this week as Community Business of the Year gets its chance to shine amongst the finalists.
Once again, the tour will be visiting businesses from across Lancashire, all bidding to get their hands on one of the iconic BIBAs trophies.
