The Be Inspired Business Awards, the BIBAs, has confirmed it has linked up with local firms to supply its prize-giving ceremony which takes place in just over a week’s time.

It has spent a substantial six-figure sum to supply everything from the production of the night and photography through to the firm providing executive transport and the caterers behind the ceremony’s menu.

Carole Myers, Managing Director at Conception Marketing which is sponsoring the Manufacturer of the Year category, said she was delighted to see businesses benefiting from the awards. Our involvement in supporting manufacturing companies across the county makes us especially proud to sponsor this category.

She said: “There is so much that goes behind putting on a ceremony like the BIBAs and, to do it properly, you need a team of very talented people behind you.”

“The companies which are providing the goods and services to these awards will be the very best of the best Lancashire has to offer.”

“I cannot wait to meet some of the fabulous firms that make up the BIBAs finalists and, of course, to award the Manufacturer of the Year prize sponsored by Conception Marketing to our winner.”
