The BIBAs’ judges will undertake two rounds of judging with applicants having a face-to-face interview followed by a visit to their business premises to get under the skin of each applicant.

Babs Murphy, chief executive of awards’ organisers the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Each year the BIBAs grows to make them the business awards they all want to win in Lancashire and this year is no exception.

“We have added new categories to open up to legal, financial and marketing and digital businesses from across the county and they will get the opportunity to go through an application process which is proven to help grow businesses.

“Our application forms followed by two meetings with our judging panels, drawn from some of the leading lights of the county’s business community, are proven to help businesses think differently and deliver increased growth.”
