I can’t believe it’s been a week already since the biz4Biz awards 2024 - where Hertfordshires finest business gathered to celebrate the movers and shakers of the year.
Adrian Hawkins OBE Chairman of biz4Biz kicked off proceedings welcoming all to the exciting awards evening. “Tonight we will witness many examples of best practice, which have created strong business and which prove that intense competition isn’t solely about prices. Strength and resolve in business are now more necessary than ever”
Entertainment from magician Michael J Fitch followed, including an auction to raise funds for the nominated charity Essex & Herts Air Ambulance - An amazing service, which is reliant on support to fund the £1m it costs to run every month.
Host Nicki Chapman, best know today for presenting BBC TV programmes including Escape to the Country.
