Appropriately, the Training and Development Award 2007, another new category for this year, was sponsored by Huntingdonshire Regional College, which is planning to move shortly to two new sites in Huntingdon and St Neots.

It came down to a straight judgment between the Huntingdon Marriott Hotel and Huntingdon Racecourse, the district's only national sporting venue.

In the end the judges believed the award should go to the Marriott, which came close in a number of other categories, because of its impressive record in retaining employees through commitment to their personal development in a market segment with traditionally high staff turnover.
