Optomistic spirit still live in the region

Businesses & judges at the HSBC launch for the Business Excellence Awards 

The second launch event of the Business Excellence awards went well on 17 January at the HSBC offices in Colonial Way, Watford.  Following the event in Hatfield many more businesses turned out to discuss the opportunity with the judges and entries are now over 50.

There is still time to get your entry in and showcase your business to your local employee base, your local customers and suppliers and of course to benefit from some free publicity - previous entrants said the publicity directly helped in attracting new customers and talented staff.
