Sponsored by Birketts
Birketts is delighted to be sponsoring the Business Person of the Year category of this year’s EADT Anglian business awards. Speaking on the benefits of being a finalist, employment partner Jolyon Berry said, “These awards are widely recognised as the most prestigious in Suffolk and are a fantastic opportunity to shine the spotlight on some great organisations. Through our work we regularly come across interesting and successful regional businesses, be they entrepreneurs, start-ups or multinational companies. Most of them have a great story to tell and the Awards are an ideal platform from which to showcase what is good about a business and give credit to those at the helm. Being a finalist in the Awards not only gives staff a great sense of pride in the company and its achievements but also significantly raises its profile and creates new leads and opportunities.”
