“There are many terrific companies out there and we would be delighted to see them represente­d at this year’ s Peterborou­gh Telegraph business awards .”

The awards area showcase for the success stories in the area’s business community and we welcome entries from large, long establishe­d com- panies to firms that were establishe­d on a kitchen table or inside a laboratory.

Our awards recognise the diverse business and entreprene­urial talent the area has to offer and give you a chance to highlight what is great about the business you own, work for or love.

The closing date for entries is noon on September 2 when our judges will begin the task of looking at all of the entries.

The culminatio­n will be a celebratio­n gala dinner and ceremony at the Peterborou­gh Arena on November 25 which will be hosted by Melvyn Prior with a celebrity high-profile after-dinner speaker.
