Hide AdChris Collier, head of the awards’ judges, said: “Since the 2022 awards held last November, there have been far too many negative comments on the British Economy from politicians and The Bank of England.
"My personal belief talking to businesses in The Greater Peterborough Area is that there are many Companies bucking the trend, and have inspiring stories to tell.
"When businesses are shortlisted for the Peterborough Telegraph Awards, it is an excellent way of showing their achievements to the rest of the world, and many companies who win awards use this as a marketing tool in many ways, including on web sites, emails and stationery.
"It also gives the employees a feel good factor, knowing the high regard there is for their employer.
