The Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) are Lancashire’s biggest and best business awards, dubbed “the one they all want to win.” The event,organised by the North West Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, has the remit of celebrating the achievements of the county’s best businesses and accordingly it attracts the cream of the Lancashire business community. It is great to receive recognition for our progress, as it is good to know that all the hard work is paying off! In 2015 a record-breaking 1232 entries were received so we are very proud to have made the cut.
The Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAs) helps bring recognition to women in business across the North West. Allowing participants the chance to reflect upon their achievements along with looking to the future of their business development, growing in confidence and meeting like minded entrepreneurs, the EVAs is a fun night of glamour and glitz at the Blackpool Winter Gardens. This year Centaur has the pleasure of sponsoring and judging the Solo Business Awards category. Rose Watkins founded the company in 2003 and built the business up over the years into the micro company that it is now and is always looking to expand and grow Centaur in new ways. Rose knows the challenges that a solo business woman faces and has overcome them herself, so judging this category will give her the chance to reflect upon her own achievements while finding a budding like minded entrepeneur in the eventual winner this September!
