“The event provides a platform to thank those who work tirelessly to deliver exceptional services and products to their customers and show them our appreciation for enhancing the local community and economy.
“The finalists have a real understanding of the market they operate within and are fully aware of their customers’ needs. The great standard of their services along with the friendly staff have made them stand amongst the others. We wish all our finalists the best of luck and we are looking forward to welcoming all our guests and delivering another enjoyable event.”
