Winners of the Pendle Business Awards 2018 revealed

The winners of Pendle Business Awards 2018 were revealed at a glittering ceremony at the Fence Gate Inn last night.

BBC North West Tonight’s Beccy Barr hosted the black-tie event organised jointly by Pendle Council and Pendle Vision Board.

Shortlisted businesses were joined by the borough’s dignitaries, judges and sponsors at the Fence Gate Inn – Pendle’s finest 18th century inn and hotel.

Dennis Mendoros, OBE DL, Chairman of Pendle Vision Board and President of Mendor Enterprises, said: “Last night was absolutely fantastic. It was our best event yet!

“We were joined by some of the borough’s greatest businesses and I was really proud to be among them.

“There was a lot of excitement as the winners of each award were revealed, which made for a fantastic atmosphere.

“We want to shout about everything that Pendle has to offer and show that you can make it in Pendle and that’s what the business awards are all about!”

The evening started with a champagne reception followed by a three course gala dinner and the much anticipated ceremony.

Winners once again took away a coveted Pendle trophy – an elegant glass and metal sculpture inspired by Pendle Hill, made by local company Merc Aerospace.

And all of the shortlisted companies received a Highly Commended certificate.

The Awards, now in their sixth year, celebrate those businesses which have great ambition and are highly skilled in their sectors.

Some are trading locally and globally and many have strong specialisms, including precision engineering and logistics.

Dean Langton, Chief Executive of Pendle Council added: “Congratulations to all our winners and those who made the shortlist.

“A big thank you to Pennine Events and our Business Support Team for making sure this year’s Pendle Business Awards was professionally organised and thank you to everyone who sponsored the evening – it really helped to make it a very memorable one!”

Businesses helped to raise £2,000 on the night for this year’s nominated charity SSAFA The Armed Forces Charity which helps the Armed Forces, veterans and their families in Lancashire.
