“There are a lot of businesses in the area who are showing promise in helping the town reach its potential economic output, and it’s important to signify those top performers.”
Designed to raise the profile of the Chamber, the awards, which saw entries from 25 companies, were open to all businesses across the borough, not just existing members.
Entrants were asked to demonstrate excellence, specifically how they have made a pioneering approach to business as well as showing a commitment to furthering the prosperity of the borough.
Finalists have been asked to answer three questions why they think they should be crowned champion. Winners in each category will be announced at the breakfast awards ceremony, taking place between 8am and 10am.
