A LAW firm which prides itself on supporting community projects and charity events has been nominated for a prestigious business award.
Napthens LLP, which has offices in Blackburn and across Lancashire, has reached the final four of the Hive Business Awards in the Corporate Commitment to Blackburn and Darwen category.
Oliver McCann, who heads the East Lancashire offices, said: "We are proud and delighted to be a finalist.
"It’s a reflection of the team effort and hard work that we’ve put in to developing our business through supporting the local economy, involvement in local community projects and charities and working closely with other businesses and organisations across the region."
The law firm, which employs around 50 staff, moved into a new premises in Walker Business Park in December and said there was 'huge potential' in the area.
Mr McCann said: "As well as Napthens’ active involvement in the local business community, our staff are eager to support the wider community.
"This has included giving their time to various local community projects and organising charity fund raising."
The firm has previously supported the Blackburn Youth Zone by sponsoring and arranging events.
Mr McCann said: "Napthens is a true partner to the local community.”
