A Great Evening At The Hive Blackburn & Darwen Business Awards
What a great evening everyone had at the Hive Blackburn and Darwen Business Awards 2016 in the glorious setting of Blackburn Cathedral last Thursday. The whole event was brilliantly run from start to finish and full marks to all the presenters and organisers who contributed to the evening.
A special congratulations should go to all the Hive award winners, along with all the nominees, as the competition was particularly fierce this year. It just shows what great business talent there is in the Blackburn and Darwen area and how lucky we are to have them here.

TV presenter Emma Jesson did a fabulous job of hosting the award ceremony and all credit to her for holding the proceedings together. The finalists were joined by dignitaries, sponsors, judges and supporters at the black-tie event at Blackburn Cathedral where the winners were announced and of course we were there as one of the sponsors of the event.
Former High Sheriff Ann Jordan, a non-executive director for the Institute of Directors and chairman of the Blackburn Cathedral Appeal Board of Trustees, was a guest speaker and there was also entertainment from local acts including the Paul Rigby Quartet and Hannah Spurgeon.
