Linda is excited to reveal this year’s finalists;

“Our 2022 awards have seen the largest amount of entries we have ever had which is testament to the way the industry is pulling together and coming back post-COVID to be stronger than before. These awards are a chance for these important businesses in our local communities to shine a light on their achievements and to celebrate our industry camaraderie face to face”.
