Business leaders and entrepreneurs are invited to put forward nominations for the ultimate accolade of 'Lancastrian of the Year'.

Awarded for Life Time Achievement, it'll be presented to an individual who has demonstrated recognised leadership and who has made exemplary contributions to the county's business community.

Previous winners include: Dennis Mendoros, (Euravia) Edwin Booth, (Booths) Tim Webber (Barnfield Construction) and current title holder, Phillip McIvor (Farmhouse Biscuits).

All nominations received will be considered by the judging panel made up of previous winners. There are 16 other categories which will celebrate the best of Lancashire business at this year's glittering awards night at Preston Guildhalll in August.

So if you know a business person who is an outstanding individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision, one who has worked tirelessly on behalf of the business community in Lancashire – then we need to hear from you.

Please submit their details via the Lancastrian button on the BIBAs website

This is Lancashire’s biggest business competition and an excellent opportunity for organisations to make some noise about their outstanding achievements and measure their performance against industry peers. So for those who have still to submit their entries, hopefully, this will come as a timely reminder that the 30th March deadline is fast approaching.
