About us

We are looking for a marketing lead to join our busy team who will work across all aspects of our brands and business.

We are an independent, Lancashire-based business that publishes an award-winning magazine six times a year and stages award-winning, industry-leading events.

Lancashire Business View (LBV) magazine has been the magazine for industry, commerce and regeneration in the county since 2005. We bring the Lancashire business community together to celebrate success and encourage trade in the county.

We have a significant online presence and update news daily; a digital version of the magazine; we distribute frequent online communications; and have a strong following on social media.

We stage around 30 events each year, ranging from themed debates for up to 10 delegates to the national award-winning Red Rose Awards which attracts more than 1,000 guests annually.

We are a small and dynamic team, and all contribute to the direction of the business.
