Musical entertainment was provided by singer Neville Skelly.
Mr McKenna said: "The evening was a great success, and we were delighted with the response from the companies who picked up an award.
"The awards do not just recognise businesses which have a strong balance sheet, but rather those companies who have made positive contributions to the local business community as a whole.
"This is the first Six In The City event to have been held in Preston and we are keen to make it a top fixture on Lancashire's business calendar."
