The Brentwood Business Awards are an annual celebration of the array of successful businesses which are thriving in the town. Run with flair and imagination by the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce, the awards are run as a red-carpet ceremony not dissimilar – in Brentwood terms – to the Oscars.
I was very sorry not to be able to attend this glittering event due to previous diary commitments, but it is clear from the list of winners and runners-up that Brentwood is the place to do business.
Particular congratulations must go to Nuclear Races for winning not only the Customer Service Award but also the Business of the Year Award, new-to-Brentwood Ink Digital for their success in the Sales and Marketing and Business Person of the Year awards, and the excellent St Francis Hospice for topping the Community Engagement and Charity Worker of the Year categories.
Nuclear Races has grown its business over fifteen years to bring thousands of people to the Borough of Brentwood to get wet, tired and muddy over the course in Kelvedon Hatch. And Ink Digital arrived in the town last year, and offers services to companies wanting to improve their digital output and search engine optimisation, for which there is a growing need and desire in this digital age.
St Francis Hospice is a wonderful charity which helps so many families during difficult times, and Carol Dodd – the Business Awards Charity Worker of the Year – is a wonderful woman whose warmth, dedication and ability to raise money for the hospice is to be admired.
Congratulations to all those involved for being such great champions of all Brentwood offers to businesses and employers thinking of coming to the Borough. An there’s a great podcast from one of the High Street Impact Award runners up, The Brentwood Buzz, celebrating the event on www.thebrentwoodbuzz.co.uk if you want to hear more from many of the winners.
