The Red Rose Awards are back for 2021 and 2 of our West Lancashire-based businesses have been shortlisted for awards. The Red Rose Awards celebrates business, commerce and industries and is the largest event of its kind in the county. Established in 2011, the awards are designed to promote and salute the success of businesses within the county of Lancashire and is a great platform to promote success to potential customers, collaborators and suppliers.
The Red Rose Awards 2021 was scheduled to take place in June but was moved to November 23rd, due to the introduction of the third national lockdown. This was to allow businesses more time to put forward nominations while ensuring that the event can be held in person. This year’s awards will also feature a number of new categories to better reflect the county’s evolving business landscape.
The following West Lancashire-based businesses have been nominated for The Red Rose Awards 2021:
