Hide AdAll 12 winners will be sharing the stories of their success in a series of panel discussions chaired by Chris Maguire, editor of business magazine BusinessCloud.
Chris said: “St George’s Day Festival has been a fixture in the calendar for a decade and after speaking to Festival president David Haythornthwaite we decided this year to celebrate some of Lancashire’s unsung heroes.
“Every Hidden Hero is inspirational in their own way but rarely gets any public recognition. All have a fascinating tale to tall and it is going to be an amazing event.”
The event, which starts at 9am, with registration from 8.15am, will be in a marquee specially erected for the Festival and is free to attend.
