Chris Collier, head of the awards’ judges, said: “My personal belief talking to businesses in the 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.
"It also gives the employees a feel good factor, knowing the high regard there is for their employer. I strongly urge any companies with achievements in any of the categories to enter and see the benefits of being shortlisted for the awards which are presented at a Gala Evening in November.”
