Chamber President Pat Strods said: “Tewinbury Meadow barn was full with Chamber members and non-members alike and there was a real buzz in the room. It was an amazing evening and just being shortlisted as a finalist was a huge achievement.
“It takes months to organise the awards, with Board members giving their time up to shortlist and interview the finalists and the Chamber’s Claire Stevenson and Emma Fisher working so hard to put the evening together. Everyone’s contribution made it a fantastic evening and my thanks go to all involved.
“With special thanks to our 2023 sponsors Kirkby Diamond, St Albans District Young Chamber, Christopher Place, The Maltings, T&B Contractors, Buff & Bare, Memorabilia Framers and Rayner Essex, without whom the entire awards process would not be possible.”
