In just 59 days, Lancashire’s most prestigious business event – the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) – will roll into Blackpool’s iconic Tower Ballroom, bringing glitz, glamour, and the best of the county’s business community together under one roof.
With 20 hotly contested categories soon to be revealed, excitement is building as finalists, judges, and guests prepare for the unforgettable celebration on 19th September.
Behind the scenes, the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce is putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a night to remember.
Menus are signed off, the secret entertainment is locked in, and tickets are about to be dispatched to eager attendees across the county.
And while the winners might take centre stage on the evening, months of hard graft for the sponsors will also be on show.
Leading the charge are headline sponsors Lancashire County Council, who also back the coveted Business of the Year award.
“The BIBAs is more than just an awards ceremony; it’s a celebration of the ambition and resilience that drives Lancashire’s economy,” said Cllr Brian Moore, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Growth of Lancashire County Council/
