Blackpool Celebrates Silver Gilt Success at North West in Bloom 2025

Enveco NW was proud to join this year’s North West in Bloom awards ceremony, held in November at the Bolton Stadium. The event brought together Enveco team members, Blackpool Council staff and Enveco’s Chair, Cllr Adrian Hoyle, to celebrate the incredible work taking place across our town.
