A LAST-minute surge to attract even more entries to our fifth Fenland Enterprise Business Awards has begun.
On Friday, October 11, an audience of finalists and sponsors from local businesses of all sizes, and with an attendance of up to 200, will celebrate the achievements of businesses within Fenland.
The awards are run by this newspaper in association with Fenland District Council.
Also supporting this year’s competition are Local Generation and Whiting & Partners, both supporters of the awards since their inception in 2009, Leeds Day Solicitors, Larkfleet Homes, Foster Property Maintenance and Foster Renewable Energies.
Editor John Elworthy said: “In some categories there has been a strong entry but we would like to see some others challenged more strongly.
“The deadline is looming and we also appreciate some firms find it time consuming to set aside an hour or so to complete an entry.
“But I promise them that the rewards will amply justify their efforts.
