Champion Accountants are celebrating today after scooping the award for “Best Accountancy Firm” at the Lancashire Business Awards 2013.

Hosted by Downtown in Business, the glittering ceremony took place last night at Stanley House Hotel in Lancashire’s Ribble Valley. Champion fended off stiff competition from fellow accountants Whitehead & Aldrich, McDade Roberts, Cassons and PMM, to come out on top.

Kristen Durose from Red Star Wealth presented the award to Preston Directors Stephen Robinson and Keith Porter.

Stephen commented: “It is an honour to even be recognised at such a highly regarded event as the Lancashire Business Awards, so to win the Best Accountancy Firm award is wonderful. I would like to congratulate the many fantastic Lancashire based businesses who also won awards; last night was great opportunity to come together and support one another.”
