Celebrating success and centenary in shimmering style

This year’s Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards were a particularly special occasion given that it is the Chamber’s centenary year. Exceptional businesses and entrepreneurs from across the county received the recognition they rightly deserve during a night of entertainment and celebration

Few people will ever get the chance to attend the Oscars, but the county’s business community was able to experience its own version at this year’s Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards.

The Chamber’s awards are always a special occasion, but it was a night particularly worth celebration this centenary.

The 1920s-themed awards night was at Tewinbury Farm Hotel near Welwyn, with a glittering guest list including HM LordLieutenant Robert Voss CBE CStJ, Hertfordshire Community Foundation CEO Paul Robin and numerous business luminaries from across the county. Energetic musical group The Collective provided an appropriately lively soundtrack to proceedings.

Big winners on the night included Stevenage animal-free testing firm ImmuONE, which was named North Herts Business of the Year, while co-founder and CEO Dr Abigail Martin picked up the award for Entrepreneur of the Year.
