Here at Danbro we are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for no less than five prestigious awards in this year’s Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs).
In addition to Business of the Year and Employer of the Year, Danbro has also been shortlisted in the Change for Growth, Excellence in Customer Service and Leadership of the Year award categories.
With tough competition from many fantastic Lancashire Businesses it is a real honour to make it through to this stage.
With an interview panel still to impress, we are keeping our fingers crossed that we can add further BIBAs to our growing list of awards when the winners are announced at a ceremony at Blackpool Tower on Friday 20th September 2013.
Most importantly, a big thank you must go to all of our dedicated staff who always go the extra mile to make Danbro the fantastic customer-focussed business that it is.

They have been giving recruiters tips on how to use social media to help drive more business, which will hopefully see agencies referring more business to us.

As you will all now be aware, we have secured our next Danbro Office. The new office is part of a large building in Lytham and will mean that we will be moving out of our 3 offices on Whitehills which will bring us all under one roof again and provide us with plenty of room to grow. We have received a lot of positive feedback from staff who have visited the new building and it is anticipated that the move will probably happen sometime within the next 18 months.
We hope that you will all be as excited are we are about this new facility. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to discuss these with Helen.
