The prestigious awards, which will see 600 guests celebrate the borough’s finest businesses, charities and other organisations, celebrate the tenacious, innovative and resilient businesses in the borough.

We couldn’t hold this event without our sponsors and partners, so to have the college’s commitment as both headline and manufacturing excellence sponsor confirms to us their dedication to the business and learners within our borough and beyond.”

“The Burnley Business Awards are a key event for businesses, charities and other organisations in Burnley and their hard-working employees and it is important that we show our support. We know we have incredible organisations in our borough, so we’d encourage as many of you as possible to enter. You have until 28th March to get your entries in!”
