“I have been working at Leonard Dews since July 2013, it’s a fantastic business. I’m passionate about letting people know about the amazing things going on here at the moment, and what we have planned for the future.

“Michael Hyman, our managing director, has always been incredibly supportive, but so has the entire team. I started out working in sales, but have managed to work my way up, grow and learn on the job.”

Sub36, run by Lancashire Business View, was launched at BAE Systems’ Academy for Skills and Knowledge at Samlesbury, as a rebrand of Lancashire Business View’s ‘Young Uns’. The ceremony was held at the Winter Gardens.
