Yeovil Business Awards 2010 - Celebrating the best "

Last night (Thursday 20th May) a group of us donned our DJs and posh frocks and attended the Yeovil and South Somerset Business Awards ceremony, organised by the Western Gazette, and held at the Augusta Westlands Sports and Social Club, in Yeovil.

Posh frocks and DJ's

Our Production & Export Manager, Martin, who was responsible for entering us for the Somerset Business Awards 2009 seems to have got the taste for these awards and so he put in an entry.  We then received a phone call from the organisers saying that we had been short-listed (along with two other businesses) for the "Small Business of the Year 2010" award and that it would be in our interests to attend the Awards ceremoney!  Not needing much persuasion to attend a posh do we all rushed round and organised DJs for the boys and us girls rooted around in the wardrobe and dusted off the smart frocks.  Unfortunately because it was a bit short notice not many of us were able to attend so we roped in some 'other halves' instead.

We all had a very enjoyable evening and we were thrilled to win the Small Business of the Year award and received a very nice framed certificate and trophy, both of which have joined the Somerset Business Award on our display shelves in our Reception area.

Thanks to the Western Gazette, the sponsors, and everyone involved in organising the Awards and the Gala evening and roll on the next business awards competition!
