Organised by Wyre Council, the Wyre Business Awards aim to highlight businesses in Wyre that have excelled in a variety of categories.

Due to COVID-19, the awards were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 but are now back and local businesses are invited to apply.

The return of the awards follows the relaunch of the council’s Wyred Up service which offers advice and networking sessions to help enable businesses to connect across the borough and to encourage local businesses to trade with each other.
