Creativity Works for Business

Background

Creativity Works was originally established by the Arts officers of Pennine Lancashire to support and promote the creative industry development in Pennine Lancashire.  With partnerships and a website at is core it aimed to provide a creative hub for networking, accessing and disseminating information, celebrating creativity and raising the profile of the exciting and vibrant creative industries that exist in the region.  

Creativity Works for Business Awards

Supported by Arts Council England, CENTA and in later years Creative Lancashire, an awards event was held annually to celebrate the excellence that existed locally in Pennine Lancashire to encourage local firms to use local companies and show that local Creative Industries could rival those based in Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds when it came to quality, innovation and creativity.

2009 saw the 5th and final awards ceremony. Following this it was felt that the awards had run their course and that for new opportunities to be grasped it was time to look for different ways to achieve our aim.

Current Projects

Our next adventure is to provide opportunities for development and growth through the government’s empty shops initiative.  For details see the LET Project section of this site.
