It’s not just on the domestic front that Lancashire shines.
The county contributes billions to the economy through its export market, a feat celebrated at next month’s BIBAs ceremony in Blackpool.
Among the categories set to take centre stage is Global Business of the Year, which recognises the service and manufacturing companies placing international trade at the heart of their growth strategy.
This category celebrates businesses that look beyond borders, respond confidently to global change and turn overseas opportunities into long-term success.
Whether opening new markets, strengthening supply chains or building international partnerships, the finalists show how Lancashire businesses can compete on the world stage.
Proudly sponsoring Global Business of the Year is Team Leyland International, a company with first-hand experience of the ambition, resilience and expertise needed to succeed overseas.
Mick Mayor, managing director at Team Leyland, said: “Many businesses still concentrate primarily on the UK market, overlooking the significant global opportunities waiting beyond our borders.
“International trade remains one of the most effective ways to accelerate growth, strengthen resilience through diversification, and unlock new avenues for innovation and success.
“Lancashire continues to be home to world-class exporters, and this category provides the ideal stage to celebrate those already thriving internationally while inspiring others to embrace global markets.”
As the countdown to the ceremony continues, Global Business of the Year stands as a powerful reminder of the confidence, ambition and international reach driving Lancashire’s business community forward.
