Andy Cowie, Head of Marketing and Business Development, James Cowper Kreston said: “These awards are now in their 19^th year and have firmly established themselves as part of the business calendar in the Thames Valley.  The number and quality of entries in both categories have been truly impressive and our congratulations go to all.”

The winner of the ‘SME of the Year’ Award this year went to Fleet-based CV-Library, a leading independent online job-board that currently advertises some 85,000 different jobs around the UK. 

‘Charity of the Year’ was given to Style Acre, that provides supported living and a wide programme of community and volunteering activities for adults with learning difficulties.
