Last year this award was won by James Burton a director of Swann Edwards Architects based in Guyhirn and the question is who will follow in his footsteps?

This award will go to an individual who stands out from the crowd, has an entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrates outstanding achievement, and inspires others around them. The winner of this award will have been instrumental to the success of their business, growing the reputation of both their business and their local area.

The headline sponsor of the Business Awards is once again the top accountancy firm Whitings LLP, with the event being organised by the Fenland Citizen.
