Today the winners of the Suffolk Business Awards 2020 were announced in an online ceremony.
Hundreds of entries from the county’s business community were painstakingly whittled down to shortlists by our judges – a mammoth task with each category taking hours of deliberation.
Then, throughout today the winners were announced in our online ceremony.
Business editor Richard Porritt said: “This year – more than any other – all the nominees should be proud of their achievements.
“I was amazed at the quality of the entries and I have been left in no doubt that Suffolk’s business community will emerge from this awful year stronger than ever.
“A massive thank you to our headline sponsors Sizewell C and the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and huge congratulations to all our winners.”
