One of the most exciting categories at this year’s BIBAs is the New Business of the Year – a celebration of innovation, ambition and bold beginnings.
This award recognises businesses that have launched within the last three years and are already making a real impact in their industry. Whether disrupting traditional models, carving out new markets, or responding to local needs with fresh solutions, these new ventures represent the next generation of Lancashire enterprise.
Babs Murphy, Chief Executive of the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, said:
“Starting a business is no small feat – growing one is even harder. This category honours the brave, passionate founders who have taken the leap and are already proving their worth. Lancashire is lucky to have such a strong pipeline of entrepreneurial talent, and the BIBAs is proud to shine a light on it.”
The New Business of the Year award is a reminder that while legacy and longevity are important, so too is fresh thinking and fearless innovation. These finalists may be new, but their influence is already being felt.
