Questions include local traditions, humour, and regional knowledge. Successful test-takers will receive a certificate declaring their workplace as an official Lancashire Office. Their office will be added to an interactive map of Lancashire Offices.

The initiative is part of Evolve’s celebration of Lancashire Day, marked annually on 27th November to commemorate the county’s heritage and spirit. By offering accreditation, Evolve aims to foster a sense of pride among Lancashire businesses, recognising the county’s distinctive work culture.

Achieving Lancashire Office status requires familiarity with classic regional characteristics, including tea-making traditions, resilience to Lancashire weather, and a signature no-nonsense work ethic.

Daniel Maddox of Evolve Document Solutions, said: “We wanted to create a fun, light-hearted way for offices to show off their Lancashire roots. Lancashire Day seemed the perfect time to launch something that celebrates everything that makes working here unique.”

Lancashire Day, celebrated since 1996, marks the anniversary of the first Lancashire representatives being summoned to Parliament by King Edward I in 1295. Events across the county include the reading of the Lancashire Day Proclamation and a variety of local gatherings and festivities that reflect the county’s identity, from traditional foods to live performances and parades.

Daniel added: “Lancashire offices are special. They’ve got a sense of community, plenty of grit, and never take themselves too seriously. We’re hoping this quiz will bring out those unique qualities and create a bit of friendly competition between workplaces!”

Through this initiative, Evolve Document Solutions underscores is a proud Lancashire business. Based in Bamber Bridge, the company provides managed print and document management services across Lancashire. It expanded its premises in 2023 to accommodate its growing offerings, including its proprietary document management software, Agility.

The “How Lancashire is Your Office?” quiz and accreditation aim to bring Lancashire offices together in a show of regional pride while highlighting Evolve’s role in supporting the business community with innovative document solutions.
