The event was opened by Alistair Burt, the Conservative MP
for Bedfordshire North East, who paid tribute to the efforts
of small businesses around the county. He told guests at
the ceremony: “You represent the engine of this country
and making sure that the small business sector is working
properly is a key part of where this country needs to go.”

 

 

 

Pam Woods, of Conquest Business Events, paid tribute to the high quality of entries in all ten categories. She said: “These awards celebrate the strength in depth of local business. The quality of entries was extremely high and I particularly liked the fact that they came from such a wide variety of businesses.”
