Nava Accountancy Named Finalist in the Sub36 Awards 2026 New Business Award
Nava Accountancy has been named a finalist in the New Business Award at the Sub36 Awards 2026, organised by Lancashire Business View. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Friday 16 October 2026 at Park Hall Hotel and Spa in Chorley. I am incredibly proud of this recognition, and I wanted to share what it means for the practice and for the clients who make it possible.
What are the Sub36 Awards?
The Sub36 Awards celebrate the achievements of Lancashire’s business community aged under 36. Run by Lancashire Business View, they shine a spotlight on the county’s emerging business talent across 14 categories, from start-ups and creatives to hospitality and professional services. Being shortlisted alongside so many strong Lancashire businesses is an honour in itself.
What is the New Business Award category?
The New Business Award recognises companies that launched on or after 17 October 2023 where majority ownership sits with people under 36. It celebrates founders who have built something real in a short space of time: winning clients, building systems and establishing a reputation from a standing start. That is exactly the journey Nava has been on, and reaching the final feels like a genuine milestone.
Why does this matter for our clients?
Awards are lovely, but what they really reflect is the standard of work behind them. Since launching Nava, my focus has been simple: clear advice, personal service and dependable support for small and medium-sized businesses across Rossendale and beyond. That means proactive reminders before deadlines, plain-English explanations of your numbers, and packages that fit how you actually work, from sole trader and start-up support through to full growth packages with regular reporting and tax planning.
If you are a client reading this: thank you. Every referral, every review and every kind word has played a part in getting the practice to this point. You can read more about the story behind Nava and what we stand for.
What happens next?
The awards ceremony takes place on the evening of Friday 16 October 2026 at Park Hall Hotel and Spa in Chorley, where the winners across all 14 categories will be revealed. Whatever the result on the night, being named a finalist is a mark of how far the practice has come, and it has only made me more ambitious for what comes next. Watch this space for an update after the ceremony.
