Double win for Bibby Line Group at Echo Regional Business Awards

Bibby Line Group celebrated TWO awards at the 2019 Echo Regional Business Awards on 20 June at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.

The 212 year old, Liverpool-based company picked up the Outstanding Charity Support Award, honoring the 10 year commitment to local communities as part of the Giving Something Back Programme which has to date donated over £10million to charity.

In a surprise final award, Sir Michael Bibby also won Business Person of the Year Award for an unprecedented second time, honoring his commitment and investment to the region as well as his legacy of setting up the GSB Programme in 2007 – the company’s bi-centenary year.
