All the Lancaster and Morecambe winners announced at glittering Best of the Bay awards ceremony

More than 200 guests attended the glittering awards ceremony held at the Mazuma Stadium.

Money raised on the night went to CancerCare.

The awards were sponsored by Wright & Lord Solicitors, Port of Lancaster, Porsche Centre South Lakes, Morecambe Football Club, 3-1-5 X-Force Health Club and Lancaster & Morecambe College.

Elsabe White, chief executive officer at Lancaster Port Commission, said: “As a Trust Port anchored and immersed in our local community, we proudly support the wider business community in the area. We’re here to play our part in making the Bay area an even greater place to live, work and visit.

"One of our aims is to deliver prosperity to Glasson Dock and the wider region. Part of that is supporting up to 200 local jobs through the import and export facilities we provide for local businesses, but it’s also about exploring ways to work collaboratively with other organisations in our area who share our positive vision.

"The Best of Bay Awards’ watchwords of pride in growth, innovation, or contribution to the community, fit so well with our Trust Port model. We can’t wait to find out more about the brilliant businesses involved in the awards - and about all of the people working in them.”

"Congratulations to all the winners! You truly are our local heroes.”
