Warden celebrates ‘transformative year’ with Red Rose Awards win

Warden is proud to have won the ‘Transformation Award’ at the 2025 Red Rose Awards – one of the region’s leading business awards events.

The prestigious award recognises businesses that can demonstrate how ongoing transformation has resulted in improved performance or growth, while servicing customer needs and securing new opportunities.

Last year we made significant investments in our people-focused strategies and also putting social value at the heart of everything we do.

This included building a more inclusive workforce, focusing on continuous development opportunities, and empowering employees with the tools and training they need to grow.

Ian Williams, managing director at Warden, said: “Transformation is an ongoing journey that we’ve embraced by embedding our values into everything we do. We’re passionate about making sure our people feel valued by creating an environment where everyone can thrive.

“Beyond the workplace, we’ve built a real sense of team spirit, whether we’re tackling a Tough Mudder together or driving sustainability initiatives, we know our impact goes beyond just business. Through training incentives to our apprenticeship programme, we’re constantly investing in our people because their success is our success. This award reflects that commitment, to wellbeing, learning, and growing together as a team.”

As well as winning the ‘Transformation Award’, we were also a finalist for the ‘Built Environment Award’ which recognises businesses whose work contributes to Lancashire’s built environment.

Hosted by Lancashire Business View, the Red Rose Awards celebrate Lancashire’s business excellence by providing a platform to showcase success, highlight achievements and build connections across the county’s industries.
