After a month on the road visiting some of Lancashire’s most inspiring businesses, the BIBAs Tour has officially come to a close – and now, all eyes are on the glittering awards ceremony at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom this September.
Judges for the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) have travelled across the county throughout June, meeting the passionate teams behind the 2025 finalists.
With site visits now complete, anticipation is building to find out who will take home one of the 20 coveted trophies at Lancashire’s biggest and most prestigious business awards night on 19th September.
Organised by the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, the BIBAs celebrate innovation, resilience, and excellence in business across a wide range of sectors – from manufacturing and technology to professional services and community impact.
Headline sponsors Lancashire County Council – and sponsors of Business of the Year – have been impressed by the calibre of all the finalists this year as the class of 2025 eagerly await their fate in less than three months’ time.
With roads going off in all directions as part of BIBAs on Tour, all roads now lead to Blackpool with 1,100 guests awaiting the outcome of months of judging from more than 100 business brains in the county.
Cllr Brian Moore, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Growth of Lancashire County Council, said: “The calibre of this year’s BIBAs finalists is nothing short of outstanding.
“These businesses represent the very best of Lancashire – innovative, resilient, and deeply committed to driving our economy forward. We’ve been incredibly impressed by the passion, creativity, and ambition shown during the judging process, and we’re proud to support an event that champions such excellence.
“With the final fast approaching on 19th September, we’re looking forward to celebrating the people and organisations that make Lancashire a powerhouse of enterprise.”
