Inspiring Herts Awards

The Last Word Patrons Paul Shanahan

The night got even better for ImmuONE when it was named Inspiring Business of the Year, one of two special prizes presented on the night and chosen by the awards’ headline sponsors Viatris and SA Law.

The other special prize was Outstanding Contribution to Business, which was won by family-run property and investment firm RO Group.

There were four double award winners – recruiter Quanta Consultancy Services, luxury destination Sopwell House, air compressor and vacuum pump specialists Air Energy, and office designers Woodhouse Workspace.

Chamber CEO Donna Schultz said: “What a night! I think I speak for everyone when I say we were truly blown away. So many wonderful anecdotes, so many great people recognised, so many super new connections made – it really did have the lot. We set the bar high but it exceeded all our expectations.

“These awards are obviously about celebrating the achievements of others, but they are also about taking stock and appreciating your own successes. The pride in the faces of our superb winners was clear to see and spoke thousands of words.

“There’s nothing quite like the feeling that all the hard work has paid off – and I hope that our winning businesses can take confidence from this and push themselves on even further to reach the next level. We will be there with you all the way.

“I’d like to thank everyone who made this such a marvellous success, from our winners and highly commended businesses right through to all the people behind the scenes without whom this just wouldn’t have been possible. This was a massive team effort and I’m hugely proud of you all. I’ve no doubt our centenary Summer Party will be another super occasion too.”
