Welcome to the latest packed edition of Inspire. Taking centre stage in this issue, not surprisingly, are the magnificent Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards. A big well done to everyone who entered for our Oscars of Hertfordshire and congratulations to all those who took away trophies on the night. And what a magnificent night it was. I was delighted to see so many of you really enter into the spirit of the evening with your fantastic outfits. The 1920s created a dramatic backdrop at Tewinbury Farm Hotel and it was a fantastic way to mark 100 years of the Chamber.

There were some big winners on the evening and you can read all about them, along with some great photos of the evening from Pearldrop, starting over the page.

I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but to see the incredible array of successful and inspiring businesses across the county makes me feel very proud. It feels like everyone is trying that little bit harder and reaching that little bit further and it is great to be able to see.

Of course, now the general election is behind us, we will be watching with interest to see what the new leaders will do for the business community. I will be keen to see clear and consistent economic policies to help our businesses plan long-term strategies.

The past few years have been tough and I think we would all welcome a period of stability.

See you all soon.
