Sponsors gathered to celebrate the launch of the Hunts Post Huntingdonshire Business awards last Wednesday at the Marriott Hotel in Huntingdon.
The awards are brought to you by Hunts Post publisher Archant to recognise and reward businesses in the area.
This year, Huntingdonshire District Council is the headline sponsor of the annual awards which will be held on November 6.
Councillor Richard West, chairman of the council said: “We are realising the importance of economic development, without economic development, without having businesses being successful we do not get the employment that we need.
“It is so important that we do provide for our residents, jobs that are well paid, that gives them opportunity to look after their families.
“So therefore I think business is so important, it is about creating wealth, so we can spend it on the services that we need. “That’s why we have become so involved, we have a good economic development team that are looking for good practise, looking to see where they can improve and what the council does for various businesses.
