Councillor Peter Le Marinel, Planning Policy and Economic Development Portfolio Holder said:
“The Wyre Business Awards celebrate the outstanding contribution of our local businesses and organisations, those driving growth, investing in people, and delivering exceptional customer-focused innovative products and services, that strengthen our community. We were delighted to receive so many superb entries, each telling a powerful story of success, resilience, and ambition. Congratulations to everyone who entered.
“The judging panel now faces the exciting but difficult task of selecting our category winners and, ultimately, the overall Wyre Business of the Year. We extend our sincere thanks to our internal and external judges for their time and expertise, and to our sponsors, whose generous support makes these awards possible.”
