Councillor Peter Le Marinel, Portfolio Holder for Planning Policy and Economic Development at Wyre Council, said:
“What a fantastic evening and a brilliant celebration of the businesses and people we have here in Wyre. The standard of this year's finalists and winners has been exceptional, and every business recognised should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved.
“The Wyre Business Awards are about celebrating success in all its forms, from businesses that are growing and creating opportunities to those making a real difference within their communities.
“I'd like to congratulate all our winners and finalists and thank everyone who helped make the evening such a success. If you didn't enter this year, I would really encourage you to think about putting your business forward next time. The Wyre Business Awards will be back in 2027, and we look forward to celebrating even more of the fantastic businesses we have across the borough.”
The evening also provided businesses with an opportunity to meet, network and celebrate together. The awards have grown into an important annual gathering for Wyre's business community, bringing organisations from across the borough together to build relationships and recognise local success.
Wyre Council would like to thank everyone who entered, attended and supported this year's event, including the sponsors and partners who helped make the awards possible.
