The finalists have been announced for the 15th annual Red Rose Awards, including four businesses from a range of sectors which have received Two Zero support during their scaleup journey.
The awards, led by business publication Lancashire Business View, were first launched in 2011. They celebrate the best companies from across the county by recognising business excellence and showcasing innovation.

Amin Vepari, programme manager, Two Zero, said: “Two Zero's purpose is to support Lancashire’s scaleup businesses, including through targeted support programmes to accelerate their growth, which in turn drives growth in the Lancashire economy.
