"We are delighted to once again be able to offer two very popular and high profile guests of honour for our businesses.

"But the real stars of the show have to be the businesses that continue to work, in these difficult times, to succeed and excel in what they do.

"We are pleased to be given the chance to hold them up as shining examples of best practice and look forward to receiving nominations for next year’s awards.
