A new category for 2024, this award is back to recognise collaborations that have achieved outstanding results. This award highlights the importance of building relationships and how organisations can come together to achieve a shared goal for the greater good.
This award can be entered by any business in Lancashire who has collaborated with one or more external partners on a project of any shape or size.
Lancashire Business View is an advocate for partnership working and has been witness to the success of this across the business community of Lancashire since launching in 2005.
This award aims to promote and celebrate great collaboration projects and the results that can be achieved when people and businesses come together to achieve a shared goal for the greater good.
This is not for the standard partnership of working with a customer or supplier. This is for the stand out collaborative projects that are taking place across the county that go above and beyond – those that have solved problems or created amazing opportunities.
Judges will need to understand the project, how the project was delivered and what the results were.
Examples of collaborative projects could include working with your supply chain, customers, competitors, advisors, support organisations or others.
And those collaborations can include projects delivered across private, public or third sector organisations.
Collaborations can also include those projects delivered jointly by the public, private and/or third sector.
