The businesses are chasing the opportunity to win a Red Rose Award at the ceremony in Blackpool on March 15.

Richard Slater, publisher of Lancashire Business View magazine, which is hosting the awards, said: “The quality and depth of the businesses in the running is very high. You get a feel for how strong the line-up is when you see the very good firms who didn’t make it past the first stage.”

The last 137 businesses still standing will face the judges next week in pursuit of the 20 awards on offer.

Meanwhile, another new has been unveiled.

WEC Engineering, based in Darwen, is one of the largest engineering and fabrication groups of its type in the UK. A multiple award winner in its own right, WEC is to sponsor the Environmental Impact Award. WEC will also manufacture this year’s prizes.
