The newly refurbished Tickled Trout played host to a lunchtime gathering of Lancashire Business Awards nominees, giving them the opportunity to meet the competition. Over 40 Downtown Lancashire in Business members and associates posed with their rivals in front of the camera in advance of November’s annual Awards Dinner.

The awards, which honour the most successful entrepreneurs and high growth companies from across Lancashire, take place on the evening of Thursday 7th November at the spectacular Stanley House Hotel.
