Today, the BIBAs team is heading to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom to begin transforming the venue ahead of Friday’s BIBAs Ceremony.
After months of planning, some very familiar faces are coming out of hibernation... the legendary BIBAs Glitter Ball, the famous BIBAs statues and of course, the BIBAs Tour Bus are all making their return as preparations gather pace for Lancashire’s biggest celebration of business success.
There’s a real buzz of excitement as we start bringing the magic together for what promises to be another unforgettable night.
See you on Friday!

Delivered another great #awareness session this morning to #Fujitsu staff.
We talked about ways to make events such as Pride accessible and how to be a good ally.
Some excellent questions from a great audience.
‘Attitudes affect access’. We can all remove barriers.

Productive discussions with @LancsPolice, @prestoncouncil Neighbourhood Services and local residents on community safety, including how we can better support women, and frontline staff.
We also covered local priorities including fly-tipping and weed control.
Partnership working is key to addressing concerns and keeping our communities safe. Thank you to Cabinet Member @ZafarC for the constructive discussion.

Mother Nature never ceases to surprise me- over winter this ‘yard to Let’ was bare concrete- now it’s a wildlife haven 😍❤️
