Vital Heating Solutions at the Red Rose Awards 2025
Vital Heating Solutions is thrilled to announce our entry into the prestigious Red Rose Awards 2025. Known as the ultimate celebration of business excellence in Lancashire, the awards bring together organisations that are making a real difference in their fields. This year, we are proudly entering three categories: Employer of the Year Award, Made in Lancashire Award, and Medium Business Award.
The Red Rose Awards have been a cornerstone of Lancashire’s business calendar since their inception in 2011. Organised by Lancashire Business View magazine, the awards highlight the achievements of companies across various sectors, showcasing the strength, diversity, and resilience of businesses in the region.
A Milestone Event
The 2025 Red Rose Awards mark the 15th anniversary of this prestigious event. The ceremony will take place on 13th March 2025 at the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool. This historic venue will once again host hundreds of finalists, sponsors, and supporters in a night of celebration and recognition.
Entries for the awards are now open, and businesses across Lancashire have until 13th December 2024 to submit their applications. This year, companies can enter up to three categories, allowing organisations to highlight different aspects of their work and contributions to the local community.
The judging process, which is known for its transparency and fairness, involves a panel of independent business experts and sponsors. Finalists will be announced on 20th January 2025, with interviews for shortlisted companies scheduled for 5th and 6th February 2025 at Burnley Football Club.
Our Categories: Showcasing Vital Heating Solutions
We are excited to be competing in the following categories:
Employer of the Year Award
At Vital Heating Solutions, our people are our greatest asset. Entering the Employer of the Year Award gives us an opportunity to highlight how we invest in our team and create a supportive, inclusive work environment.
From providing flexible working arrangements to prioritising mental health, we strive to ensure that every team member feels valued. We actively promote diversity and inclusion, with women thriving in roles traditionally seen as male-dominated. For example, Marjana, our Design Engineer, and Jodie, our Estimator, are just two shining examples of our commitment to breaking stereotypes.
We also focus on developing the next generation of talent by partnering with Burnley College to align training with industry needs. By nurturing young entrepreneurs and apprentices, we’re building a skilled workforce for the future.
Made in Lancashire Award
Lancashire has always been a hub of innovation, and we are proud to be part of that legacy. Our entry into the Made in Lancashire Award showcases the products and services we deliver right here in the heart of the county.
Vital Heating Solutions is committed to supporting local businesses and contributing to the Lancashire economy. From sourcing materials to working with local suppliers, we ensure that our operations have a positive impact on the community. Our dedication to sustainability and decarbonisation further strengthens our position as a company that’s truly “Made in Lancashire.”
Medium Business Award
The Medium Business Award recognises companies that demonstrate exceptional growth, innovation, and customer focus. As a medium-sized enterprise, Vital Heating Solutions continues to excel in delivering high-quality services to our clients while staying true to our core values.
Over the past year, we’ve completed major decarbonisation projects for schools and businesses across the region. These projects not only help our clients save on energy costs but also contribute to a greener future. By combining expertise with a passion for sustainability, we’re making a tangible difference in the communities we serve.
Why the Red Rose Awards Matter
The Red Rose Awards are more than just a competition—they’re a celebration of what makes Lancashire’s business community so special. Participating in these awards provides an incredible platform to:
- Showcase Achievements: The awards give us the chance to share our story, highlight our successes, and gain recognition for the hard work of our team.
- Build Connections: With hundreds of businesses attending the event, the awards are a fantastic opportunity to network and collaborate.

Winning—or even being shortlisted—can significantly boost a company’s profile. It demonstrates to clients, partners, and the community that we are a trusted, reliable, and forward-thinking organisation.
The Judging Process
The judging process for the Red Rose Awards is designed to ensure fairness and integrity. After the initial entry deadline on 13th December 2024, the panel will carefully review each submission. Finalists will be announced on 20th January 2025, and shortlisted companies will be invited to present their case in interviews held at Burnley Football Club on 5th and 6th February 2025.
