Social landlord the Luminus Group, which prides itself on its own example as a model employer, stands behind the Employer of the Year 2007 award, which went to Papworth-based newcomer, network services provider Teligence Limited against strong competition from Huntingdon Racecourse and last year's Business of the Year, the rapidly-expanding St Ives-based property services group movewithus.

The judges said Teligence "has an impressive regard for the welfare of the workforce, which has resulted in virtually no loss of staff and a very low sickness absence in a period in which the business was going through a significant change".
