The countdown is almost over.
The finish line for finalists is in sight and the iconic trophies are polished and ready to present.
Red carpet is ready, the champagne is on ice and the dancing shoes are on…
Yes, BIBAs week is upon us!
This Friday, the Be Inspired Business Awards returns to Blackpool’s iconic Tower Ballroom for a sellout night of celebration, sparkle and standout Lancashire success stories.
More than 1,000 guests will gather for Lancashire’s premier business awards, with 20 categories, a mystery star turn, a headline presenter and all the glitz of Blackpool’s biggest black-tie business event.
Final preparations are now under way beneath the dazzling backdrop of the resort’s world-famous Illuminations, setting the stage for a night the county’s business community will not forget.
From micro businesses to manufacturers, scale-ups to sustainability champions, and leisure leaders to low-carbon innovators, the BIBAs will once again showcase the ambition, resilience and enterprise driving Lancashire forward.
Behind every shortlist place sits a rigorous judging process: hundreds of applications reviewed, interviews completed, and businesses across the county visited as part of the famous BIBAs on Tour.
Now, after months of applications, judging and anticipation, it all comes down to four words:
“And the winner is…”
The BIBAs is supported by a stellar line-up of category sponsors, including Brabners, MHA, Smooth Radio, Team Leyland International, Intersys Micronics, CKS Catering, Delta Care, Sustainable Energy First, BAE Systems and EEK Media.
